Explanation by: Admin

The Moplah Revolt (also spelled Mappila Rebellion) took place in Malabar region of Kerala in 1921.

  • It was primarily a peasant uprising by the Moplah (Muslim) tenants against the Hindu landlords (Jenmis) and British colonial authorities.
  • The revolt was part of the larger Khilafat Movement and had religious and agrarian undertones.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Assam – No such revolt occurred there in 1921.
  • (C) Kashmir – Not related to the Moplah Rebellion.
  • (D) N.W.F.P (North-West Frontier Province) – Located in present-day Pakistan, unrelated to the events in Malabar.

So, the correct answer is: (B) Kerala.
