💡 Solution & Explanation

The Pagal Panthi movement in the Mymensingh district of Bengal was initiated by Karam Shah and vigorously led by his son Tipu Shah to protect peasants from exorbitant zamindari rents. Other figures like Titu Mir and Dadu Mian led separate historical uprisings such as the Barasat rebellion and the Faraizi movement respectively.
