Dooars & Terai · Eastern Himalaya & Brahmaputra Belt
Resistance here does not fit the standard shape and it is worth saying why. Most of the people living on this shelf in 1947 were descended from someone who had arrived after 1865 - recruited from Chota Nagpur for the gardens, or come down from the hills with the plantations - so there was no long-settled political society to produce a national movement, and the estates were private enclaves in which organising was difficult. The organised politics that did exist belonged to the older countryside rather than to the gardens: the Rajbanshi Kshatriya Samiti from 1910, and at the very end of the period the sharecroppers' movement of 1946. The earliest armed resistance recorded here is much older and quite different - the Raikat rebellion of 1773 against a Company revenue settlement. And the belt's most direct connection to the national movement is that it was used to hold it: Buxa Fort, in the Eastern Dooars, was among the most remote detention camps in India, and men were sent here from Bengal precisely because it was hard to reach.
विद्रोह और आंदोलन
Darpa Dev Raikat rose against the East India Company after the Baikunthapur estate was assessed as a zamindari under Company revenue administration in 1771.
परिणाम: Suppressed; the estate passed under direct British control and the Raikat house's independence ended.
Bhutan had held the eighteen duars since the seventeenth century. Raids across the frontier and the failure of Ashley Eden's mission led to a five-month war on the shelf, fought at the foot of the hills.
परिणाम: The Treaty of Sinchula of 11 November 1865 transferred the duars and the hill tract east of the Teesta to British India, with an annual allowance paid to Bhutan. Bhutan lost roughly a fifth of its territory, and the belt was opened for tea within a decade.
A social and political organisation founded at a conference of Rajbanshi leaders at Rangpur, working across the north Bengal countryside on status, education, credit and women's education. It ran a bank from 1920-21 and several hundred village cooperatives.
परिणाम: It became the main organised body of the region's older cultivating population and the route by which Rajbanshi representatives entered the Bengal Legislative Assembly.
A sharecroppers' movement demanding that the landlord's share of the crop be reduced from one half to one third, and that the crop be stored on the sharecropper's own floor until it was divided. It spread from district to district through north Bengal, the Jalpaiguri countryside among them.
परिणाम: The demand was recognised in law by the Bargadari Act of 1950, though enforcement remained partial for decades afterwards.
