Solution
The correct option is D Birsa Munda Explanation:
The Munda rebellion is also known as ‘Ulgulan’ or ‘the Great Tumult’. It was led by Birsa Munda. The main rebellion took place in the region south of Ranchi in 1899-1900. The rebellion aimed to drive away the British & establish Munda Raj or Munda rule. Birsa Munda strongly protested against non-tribals occupying tribal lands . He also disliked the moneylenders & the zamindars who ill-treated the Mundas . He advised the Munda Farmers not to pay rent to the zamindars. He was against introduction of feudal, zamindari tenures & exploitation by moneylenders & forest contractors. However the British captured Birsa Munda & suppressed the rebels.
