Which of the following is not correctly matched ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 2:

The pair "Ramosi Revolt - 1810" is not correctly matched. The Ramosi Revolt, led by Chittur Singh, actually took place much later, beginning in 1822 CE in the Western Ghats region (Maharashtra). The primary cause of this revolt was British mismanagement and neglect following the annexation of the Peshwa's territories, which led to high land revenue demands and distress among the local Ramosi tribal community who had traditionally served as hill police. The rebellion continued sporadically under different leaders, such as Umaji Naik, well into the 1820s and 1830s. Therefore, associating the main revolt with the year 1810 is historically inaccurate.

The incorrect option is 1:
The Deccan Riots occurred in 1875, primarily in the Pune and Ahmednagar districts of Maharashtra. They were a peasant protest against the oppressive revenue system (Ryotwari settlement) and the exploitation by Marwari and Gujarati moneylenders, making this pair correctly matched.

The incorrect option is 3:
The Veluthampi Revolt took place between 1808 and 1809 in the state of Travancore (modern Kerala). It was led by Velu Thampi Dalawa, the Diwan (Prime Minister) of Travancore, against the burdensome demands and interference of the British Resident, making the year 1808 a correct starting point for this match.

The incorrect option is 4:
The Sawantwadi Revolt (or Sawantwadi Rebellion) occurred in 1844 in the Konkan region. It involved the local people rebelling against the British administration and their policy of annexing the princely state, which aligns correctly with the provided year of 1844.
