'Kurichya rebellion was a resistance by the tribes against the British exploitation'. What were the circumstances that led to the Kurichya rebellion?

Kurichya rebellion was led by the Kurichya and Kurumba tribes of the Wayanad region ofKerela. It was a tribal insurgency against the British and was led by Rama Nambi. The causes of the revolt were:

1. Imposition of heavy taxes by the BRitish: The taxes were imposed on whatever goods the tribal communities produced, collected or gathered from the forest.

2. Compulsion for paying the tax in cash: the tribal communities had to cover their dues in cash, and kind (berries, fruits, wood etc.) were not accepted.

3. Seizing of agricultural land for non-payment of taxes, which was seen as absurd, considering that the communities had farmed on these lands for ages and generations.
