Explanation:

It was in news as Prime Minister recently felicitated the descendants of few families associated with Paika Rebellion of 1817 in Bhubaneswar.
In this year’s budget speech, Finance Minister had mentioned about the Paika rebellion led by BakshiJagabandhu and stated that the event will be commemorated appropriately.
• The revolution was in response to the tinkering of the revenue system by the British in 1803. In response, the farming community of Odisha rose in rebellion.
• At that juncture, BakshiJagabandhuBidyadhar, the military chief of the King of Khurda, led the army of Paikas and forced the British to retreat.
• Another main cause of the revolution was the takeover of the rent-free land that had been given to the Paiks for their military service to the Kingdom of Khurda.
• Though the revolution occurred before the first war of independence in 1857, the revolution did not get similar recognition like that of the Revolt of 1857.
