The Ramosi Uprising began in 1822 in the Western Ghats region of Maharashtra. It was led by tribal communities upset with British rule and economic hardship after the Maratha territories were annexed. The revolt involved armed resistance, plunder, and unrest that continued into the late 1820s. The British eventually suppressed it but also tried to pacify the community.
