    Explanation:

    Sanyasi Revolt(1780)

    • Sanyasi Rebellion, also known as the monk revolt, was a significant revolt that took place in Bengal in 1780. Led by sanyasis and sadhus in the dense jungles of Murshidabad and Baikunthapur in Jalpaiguri, this uprising aimed to challenge British rule and exploitation. Pandit Bhabani Charan Pathak, who emerged as a prominent leader during the Sanyasi Revolt.
    • Sanyasi Rebellion was a manifestation of the discontent and resistance among the sanyasis and sadhus against the oppressive British administration. These ascetics, belonging to the Hindu religious order, mobilized a considerable following and took up arms to confront the British authorities. This revolt became a symbol of resistance and set the stage for future anti-colonial movements in India.

    Paik Revolt(1817)

    • The Paika Bidroha (Paika Rebellion) took place nearly 40 years before the first sepoy mutiny.
    • Bakshi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar Mohapatra Bharamarbar Rai, the highest-ranking military general of Mukund Dev II, and erstwhile holder of the lucrative Rodanga estate, led an army of Paikas to join the uprising of the Kondhs.They confronted the British on 2nd April 1817.
      • The Paikas were supported by the rajas, zamindars, village heads and ordinary peasants. The rebellion quickly spread to different parts of the province.
    • Government buildings in Banapur were set on fire, policemen killed and the British treasury looted.
    • Over the next few months, the revolt continued but was eventually overpowered by the British army. Bidyadhar was imprisoned in 1825 and died while still in jail four years later.

    Pagal Panthis(1825)

    • Karim Shah founded the Pagal Panthi, a semi-religious group mainly made up of the Hajong and Garo tribes of the Mymensingh district (previously in Bengal). Under Tipu Shah’s leadership, the movement quickly transformed into a widespread, armed struggle against the British Raj and the zamindar (landlord) system. The order, which followed a syncretic blend of Hinduism, Sufism, and Animism, sought to uphold religious principles and the rights of landless peasants in Bengal.
    • A religious organisation known as the Pagal Panthis emerged in Bengal’s province’s northern Mymensingh and Sherpur District regions. Contrary to the rest of Bengal, the area was primarily inhabited by animist and indigenous peoples like the Garos, Hajangs, Dalus, and Hodis.
    • Religious harmony prevailed in the area, which gave religious reform organisations like the Pagal Panthis, an order founded by Karim Shah and other followers of Muslim fakir Majnu Shah, head of the Madariya Sufi order, a forum. After Karim Shah’s passing in 1813, his son Tipu Shah oversaw the organisation.

    Fairazi Revolt(1838)

    • The Faraizi movement was started and led by Haji Shariatullah. The movement extolled Muslims of Bengal to give up un-Islamic practices and act upon their duties as Muslims. 
    • The Faraizi movement was widely received in the districts of Dhaka, Faridpur, Barisal, Mymensingh and Comilla. The British along with the landlords of the region undertook a smear campaign against his movement which was largely successful.
    • Faraizi Uprising (1838–57) backed the peasant cause against the zamindars and called for radical changes in religion, society, and politics. Renters’ rights were largely protected by the movement, which also had the goal of ousting the British. The tenants’ fight against the zamindars was also supported by the Faraizi sect. The Faraizi riots took place between 1838 and 1857. The Wahhabi movement was embraced by the majority of Faraizis.
