KBC 2021: Amitav Ghosh’s ‘Ibis Trilogy’ is set against the backdrop of which historical event?

A: Indigo Revolt

B: Opium War

C: Permanent Settlement

D: Sepoy Mutiny

Answer: Opium War 

Opium Wars or the Anglo-Chinese Wars were a series of
military engagements fought between Britain and the Qing Empire. The immediate
issue was China‘s official seizure of opium stocks at Canton to stop the banned
opium trade and threatening the death penalty for future offenders. The
British government insisted on the principles of free trade, equal diplomatic
recognition among nations, and backed the merchants’ demands. The British navy
defeated the Chinese using technologically superior ships and weapons, and the
British then imposed a treaty that granted territory to Britain and opened
trade with China.
