Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Khasi uprising.
Tirot Sing was the leader of the Khasi uprising. Also known as the Khasi Rebellion, this was a significant armed revolt against British colonial authority in the Khasi Hills of present-day Meghalaya.
Tirot Sing, the chief of Nongkhlaw, organized and led the resistance from 1829 to 1833. The uprising was triggered by the British's attempt to construct a road through the region, which threatened Khasi autonomy.
Despite a valiant four-year struggle using guerrilla tactics, the rebellion was ultimately suppressed by the superior military force of the East India Company. Tirot Sing remains a celebrated folk hero for his courage and leadership.
