Which tribal movement required the British to deploy troops from distant regions due to its intensity?
The Santhal rebellion that ended with a limited military response
The Santhal rebellion (Santhal Hul) of 1855-56 was a major tribal uprising led by Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu against oppression by moneylenders, zamindars and the East India Company in the Rajmahal Hills region.
The scale and intensity of the revolt forced the British to move in large military forces drawn from distant regions and eventually declare martial law to suppress it.
The Bhil uprising in Khandesh was marked by scattered local resistance, and the Mappila and Kol disturbances, though significant, did not compel troop deployment on the same scale.
Among the given options, the movement described as requiring troops from distant regions due to its intensity is the Santhal rebellion.
