Alluri Sitarama Raju led the Rampa Rebellion in the 1920s, mobilizing tribal communities against British rule. He primarily operated in which modern-day Indian state?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Andhra Pradesh.
Alluri Sitarama Raju led the Rampa Rebellion (1922–1924) primarily in the Andhra Pradesh of today.
Operating in the dense, hilly forests of the Eastern Ghats—specifically around the Visakhapatnam and East Godavari districts—he mobilized local tribal communities against the oppressive British colonial rule. The rebellion was sparked by the 1882 Madras Forest Act, which severely restricted the tribal people's traditional podu (shifting) cultivation rights and forced them into exploitation.
