Complete step by step answer:-
In the 1829-1839 revolt of the indigenous Kol people of Chhota Nagpur, the Kol rebellion, also known in British Indian documents as the Kol mutiny, was a rebellion of the indigenous Kol people of Chhota Nagpur as a response to unequal treatment brought on by the structures of land tenure and administration imposed by British forces in the region. Other communities, including the Mundas, Oraons, Hos, supported the Kol people, leading to some writers even calling it the Munda revolt. The characteristic of the Kol revolt was that the tribesmen of the Kol did not fight against the British alone. Some tribesmen also joined hands with them, such as the Hos, Oraons, and Mundas. The Kol did not hesitate to fight against the British Army with conventional weapons, who fought with new instruments of warfare. The levy on the transport of items such as salt that were once openly moved was another annoyance. It was accompanied by unethical government practices and lawlessness. In revenge, the masses of common people, of whom the Kols were the greatest in number, burned the houses of the newly settled people.
