*🛡️Sanyasi Revolt* ♟️Sanyasis used to get patronage from small jamindars and chieftains. ♟️British dispossessed them after Plassey and Buxar battles leading to stoppage of Patronage. ♟️Famine added fuel to this resentment in Sanyasis. ♟️Majnum Shah (or Majnu Shah), Chirag Ali, Musa Shah, Bhawani Pathak and Debi Chaudhurani were important leaders. ♟️Debi Chaudhurani’s participation recognises the women’s role in early resistances against the British. ♟️Anand Math, a semi-historical novel by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, is based on the Sanyasi Revolt.
