Titu Mir struggled hard for:

  • (A) The Indigo Planet
  • (B) Muslim peasants of Bengal
  • (C) All peasants of Bengal
  • (D) Poor families of Assam
Check Answer
  • (B) Muslim peasants of Bengal
Explanation
  • Titu Mir, also known as Syed Mir Nisar Ali, was one of the prominent figures in the 1831 Barasat Revolt. Titu Mir’s struggle focused on mobilizing and protecting Muslim peasants and weavers from the combined oppression of British indigo planters and Hindu zamindars. Titu Mir is also remembered for building the Bamboo Fort (Banser Kella) in Narkelberia to protect his followers from heavy taxation, including the beard tax imposed on Muslims.
  • Why option (C) isn’t appropriate? The core issue in Titu Mir’s struggle was centered around the Muslim peasants in Bengal. Even if the Hindu or other peasants could have benefited in a secondary manner, the struggle was focused on the Muslim peasants in Bengal, especially against the zamindars who were exploiting them. This is also evident from the historical facts that have recorded Titu Mir’s efforts to protect the rights, land, and religion of the Muslim peasants in Bengal. Here, the important factor to consider is the target group in Titu Mir’s struggle.
