The correct answer is option 4, i.e. Assam.

Key Points:

• The tribal revolt named 'Songram Sangama' took place in Assam.
• The revolt took place in 1906.
• The revolt was against the colonial forest laws.
• British extended their control over the forests and declared some as Reserved Forests (forests that produced timber).
• This led many people to move to different places in search of their livelihood.
• Also, the jhum cultivators were allowed to live in forest only on the condition that they will provide labour to the Forest Department.
• These laws annoyed the tribal people and they disobeyed the new laws, continued with the old practices that were declared illegal, and at times rose in open rebellion.
• One such revolt was 'Songram Sangama'.
• Similarly, in the 1930s 'forest satyagraha' took place in the Central Provinces.
• Some other revolts include:
  • Revolt by Kols in 1831-32.
  • Santhals revolt in 1855.
  • Bastar rebellion in 1910.
  • Warli revolt in 1940.
  • Birsa movement in 1895.
