- Hello everyone, myself Bhumika Anand Saxena and today I will tell you about the Khasi Revolt of Meghalaya .
- In 1829, theKhasis, a tribe inhabiting the hilly region in the north-west on the border of Assam
- The British desired to construct a road......
- Yes
- No It can't be done it's our territory and we really do not like it.
- If a road is build here then it will pass through the territory of Khasi chiefs.
- This isn't fair
- And, when the British started constructing the road they forced Khasis to work as labours
- If we don't work then they will impose more tax on us
- Nearly thirtyKhasichiefs decided for turning out the British from hills as well as from plains of Assam.
- They made us labourers on our own land
- Why you all are taking so long? finish this fast!!!
- Even though they refused but they are doing our work and following our orders .
- The tribals revolted in May 1829 and fought against the British for nearly four years.
- Bar-Manik, the chief ofMolimtribe became their leader.He was supported by other chiefs particularly the chief ofNunklows, Tirut Singh.
- The British suppressed the revolt brutally, put up an economic blockade to the territory of Khasis and burnt Khasi villages.
- Let's end them
- We have to fight.
- We can't sit idle.
- Yes
- We have to do something
- FIRE!!!
- By the end of 1832, theKhasichiefs surrendered to the British and the revolt was finished. In 1830 and again in 1839, the hill-tribe,Singhos revolted against the British but with no result.
- That was the end of our story. Hope you all learnt something new.
