About this document
Deccan Riots of 1875: Causes and Impact by Liyingbeni Kikon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Deccan Riots of 1875 were a significant peasant uprising in Maharashtra against oppressive moneylender practices and colonial land revenue systems. Triggered by economic distress, high interest rates, and the impact of the American Civil War, the riots began in Supa and spread across the region, leading to a swift British military response. The aftermath resulted in the Deccan Agriculturists’ Relief Act of 1879 and heightened peasant mobilization, influencing future agrarian reforms in British India.
