When there are revolts, calls and one's put through (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

risings

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'when there are revolts calls' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one's put through' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one's' could be 'is' (Roman numeral) and 'is' is found within the answer.
'through' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for risings that I've seen is " rebellious actions".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
