Who among the following was the leader of a number of anti-British revolts in Sambalpur ?

The correct answer is Surendra Sai (option 2). Surendra Sai was a prominent freedom fighter from Odisha who organised and led multiple anti‑British uprisings in the Sambalpur region during the 19th century. He mobilised local chieftains, tribal groups and disaffected elements of the former ruling family to resist British annexation and interference in local governance, sustaining prolonged guerrilla-style resistance in the hills and forests around Sambalpur. This identification is corroborated by official exam solution material and past General Studies papers which explicitly list Surendra Sai as the leader of several anti‑British revolts in Sambalpur .
