The 1891 Sarawak Rebellion: Bantin vs. Charles Brooke

5 min21 juli 2026

In 1891, the Iban warrior Bantin led a rebellion against the White Rajah of Sarawak, Charles Brooke. This episode explores the causes of the uprising, including Brooke's oppressive taxation and interference in Iban headhunting customs. We follow the military campaign along the Skrang and Batang Lupar rivers, the brutal siege of Fort Charles, and the eventual defeat of Bantin, who fled to Dutch Borneo. The rebellion exposed the limits of Brooke's power and the resilience of Iban resistance, shaping Sarawak's colonial history for decades.
