Explanation
In 1831, under the leadership of Buddhu Bhagat, the Kol Rebellion took place in the Chotanagpur region in the areas of Singhbhum, Palamu, Hazaribagh, and Manbhum. The nature of this rebellion was economic as well as political. The most important reason for the growth of this rebellion was the excessive increase in land tax by the zamindars of these areas. After the death of Buddhu Bhagat in 1832, this rebellion was led by Ganga Narayan from 1832 to 1833.
