- In the 19th and the 20th centuries, tribals in many regions of India rose in rebellion. Birsa Munda was a tribal leader and a folk hero who belonged to the Munda tribe, born in the mid-1870’s. He was impressed by the sermons of the missionaries.
- Birsa also spent time under a well-known Vaishnav preacher, and, influenced by his teachings, started giving importance to purity and piety.
- He started a movement to reform the Munda society. He went against the British, the missionaries, moneylenders, traders and Hindu landlords.
- The spread of the Munda Movement worried the British, they arrested and jailed him for two years in 1895. After Birsa was freed in 1897, he continued with his movement. His followers attacked churches and police stations, and took over the properties of the landlords and the moneylenders.
- The movement faded out with the death of Birsa in 1900.

Unlike the battle of Plassey which was more of British conspiracy, the battle of buxar was a full-fledged war which established the British prowess in warfare. The defeat of the Great Mughal House was very significant and it stamped the British troops as one of the potent forces of the Indian subcontinent.

There were many reasons. Some are:
1)The sepoys were paid much less than the British soldiers. They were also treated unfairly by the British officers.
2) All high posts in the army were reserved for the British. Hence, the scope of promotion was very limited for a sepoy.
3) The sepoys were not allowed to wear caste and religious marks.
4) An act was passed that required the new recruits to travel overseas, if needed. The Hindu sepoys believed that travelling across the sea led to loss of caste.

The British had come to India as traders. They were looking for profitable trading opportunities. Hence, they introduced the cultivation of cash crops like opium, tea and indigo as they could make large profits by trading these crops. ... Opium was exported to China in return for tea. Commercialization of Indian agriculture resulted in reduced area under cultivation of food crops due to the substitution of commercial non-food grains in place of food grains. Between 1893-94 to 1945-46, the production of commercial crops increased by 85 percent and that of food crops fell by 7 percent.

Periodisation is simply a process of dividing the annual training plan into a series of manageable phases (mesocycles). Each phase can then target a specific or series of attributes to be developed within a designated period of time. Periodization is the process of categorizing the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time in order to facilitate the study and analysis of history. This results in descriptive abstractions that provide convenient terms for periods of time with relatively stable characteristics. Moving away from British classification, historians have usually divided Indian history into 'ancient', 'medieval' and 'modern'. ... It is a periodisation that is borrowed from the West where the modern period was associated with the growth of all the forces of modernity – science, reason, democracy, liberty and equality.

The Sedition Act(1870), allowed the government to arrest or detain any person without a fair trial in the court who was seen protesting or criticizing the British authority.
This was an example of arbitrary use of power by the British, as it authorized them to arrest person without evidence who was possibly seen as stirring up a rebellion.
Under this act, people were arrested without being told the reason for their arrest and were kept in prisons without a trial.

Ryots were the peasants who worked on farms. Under the Ryotwari system, these peasants were recognized as ownmers of the land and the revenue settlement was made directly with them by the British government.
