Q. What did the British call the Bhumij revolt?
Answer: Ganganarayan’s uproar
Notes: The British called the Bhumij revolt "Ganga Narayan's Hungama" due to leader Ganga Narayan Singh. It occurred during 1832-1833 in Bengal's Dhalbhum and Jungle Mahal regions. Ganga Narayan Singh was the son of Lakshman Narayan and cousin of the Birbhum zamindar. The rebellion opposed British East India Company's exploitative revenue policies. It began formally when Ganga Narayan Singh killed Diwan Madhav Singh on April 26, 1832. The movement spread to Bengal, Chotanagpur, and parts of Orissa, involving tribal communities and zamindars.
