Abstract
This research paper provides a comprehensive examination of the anti-British uprisings among peasants and the role played by tribes during British rule in India. By delving into the political and socio-economic dimensions of tribal communities, it seeks to unravel the underlying causes of peasant unrest and the challenges faced by tribes in the colonial era. Through meticulous analysis of historical events, socio-economic factors, and tribal dynamics, the paper illuminates the intricate interplay between colonial oppression and indigenous resistance. The investigation into the causes of peasant uprisings during British rule unveils a complex web of factors, including economic exploitation, agrarian distress, cultural marginalization, and political disenfranchisement. Simultaneously, the exploration of tribal empowerment issues underscores the disparities in access to resources, education, healthcare, and basic rights faced by tribal communities. By examining historical narratives and contemporary realities, the paper highlights the enduring legacy of colonialism on the socio-economic fabric of Indian society. Overall, the research underscores the importance of contextualizing peasant movements and tribal empowerment within the broader historical and socio-economic context of colonial India. By elucidating the challenges and struggles faced by peasants and tribes, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of anti-colonial resistance and indigenous resilience. Moreover, it underscores the imperative of addressing historical injustices and socio-economic disparities to promote inclusive development and social justice in contemporary India.
