Peshawar Rebellion

The Peshawar Rebellion was a series of protests and uprisings in the early 20th century in the region of Peshawar, then part of British India. Motivated by nationalist aspirations and opposition to British rule, local tribes and residents challenged colonial authority, demanding greater autonomy and rights. The rebellion included demonstrations, clashes, and efforts to resist British policies, reflecting the broader movement for independence in India. Its significance lies in highlighting regional resistance to colonial control and the growth of nationalist sentiments that eventually contributed to India’s independence movement.
