Correct answer: B. {'text': 'The British never imposed a tax on tamul-paan afterwards', 'label': 'B'}
1. The peasants at Phulaguri specifically opposed a proposed tamul-paan tax.
2. Even Commissioner Henry Hopkinson admitted the government was overwhelmed.
3. After the revolt the British never imposed any tax on tamul-paan (areca nut and betel leaves).
4. The Phulaguri revolt is thus counted as a partial victory for the peasant Raij Mels.
