Detailed Solution
The Kuki revolt was associated with Tripura. Among the important popular resistances of the latter half of the nineteenth century, the Kuki revolt is identified with the Tripura region during 1860–90.
The Kuka revolt was associated with Punjab. The Kuka or Namdhari Movement developed in Punjab, and during 1869–72 its political character against British rule became more pronounced. Baba Ram Singh was one of the prominent leaders of this movement.
The Pabna Peasant revolt was associated with Bengal. The Pabna Peasant Movement occurred in Bengal during 1872–73. It was one of the important nineteenth-century agrarian movements in which peasants organised resistance against problems connected with land revenue and the zamindari system.
The Birsa Munda revolt was associated with the then South Bihar. Led by Birsa Munda, this movement occurred during 1899–1900. It is also known as the Munda Ulgulan.
