Sanyasi Revolt(1763–1800)	The Sanyasi revolt was a late-eighteenth-century rebellion in Bengal, India, in the Murshidabad and Baikunthpur forests of Jalpaiguri under the leadership of Pandit Bhabani Charan Pathak. The uprisings were marked by equal participation by Hindus and Muslims.
Revolt of Moamarias(1769–99)	The Moamaria insurrection of 1769 was a powerful threat to the authority of Assam’s Ahom monarchs. The Moamarias were low-caste peasants who followed Aniruddhadeva’s (1553–1624) teachings, and their growth paralleled that of other North Indian low-caste communities. Their uprisings weakened the Ahoms and allowed others to assault the territory.
Revolt of Raja of Vizianagaram(1794)	The English and Ananda Gajapatiraju, the monarch of Vizianagaram, signed a deal in 1758 to jointly expel the French from the Northern Circars. The raja rose up in revolt, backed by his subjects. In 1793, the English captured the raja and sentenced him to exile with a pension. The raja was adamant in his refusal. In 1794, the raja was killed in a fight at Padmanabham (now in the Andhra Pradesh district of Visakhapatnam). The Company took control of Vizianagaram.
Revolt of Velu Thampi(1808-09)	In 1808-09, Velu Thampi, the Diwan of Travancore(Kerala), rose in rebellion against the British attempts to remove him from the Diwanship and the heavy burden imposed on the state through the Subsidiary alliance system by British. He rose against a large British force with help of Nair Battalion. A large British force was deployed to meet the situation. He was injured and died in the forest causing end to this revolt.
Cutch Rebellion(1816–32)	The British meddled in the Kutch’s internal feuds, prompting Raja Bharmal II to gather Arab and African forces in 1819 with the goal of driving the British out of his realm. In favour of his newborn son, the British defeated and removed Kutch monarch Rao Bharamal. The regency council’s administrative innovations, along with excessive land valuation, sparked significant dissatisfaction.
Waghera Rising(1818–20)	The Waghera leaders of Okha Mandal were forced to take up arms due to resentment of the alien authority, as well as the demands of the Gaekwad of Baroda, who were backed by the British administration. During the years 1818–1819, the Wagheras made incursions into British territory. In November 1820, a peace deal was concluded.
