Answers
Explanation:
Birsa Munda was a charismatic leader of the Munda tribe. His vision of golden age was the arrival of the time when the tribals would have their land free of dikus and regain their lost glory. He talked about the age when the tribals would not kill each other and live an honest life. He urged the people to give up drinking liquor, clean their village, and stop believing in witchcraft and sorcery. He did not want any role of outsider participants like missionaries, Hindu landlords, moneylenders, traders and Europeans.
His vision appealed to the people as they believed that all their miseries were the result of the unfair laws and policies of the dikus. They will lead a free and peaceful life only when they will regain their land.

Answer:
1. Birsa was an Indian tribal freedom fighter, religious leader, and folk hero who belonged to the Munda tribe.
In 1895, a man named Birsa was seen roaming the forests and villages of Chottanagpur in Bihar. People said he had miraculous powers – he could cure all diseases and multiply grain. Birsa himself declared that God hadf appointed him to save his people from trouble, free them from the slavery of dikus (outsiders).
Birsa's vision of golden age was to have their land free of dikus. He considered that age to be the 'age of truth'. According to Birsa, in the golden age, the tribal sirdars will be able to rule among themselves and no one will be there to dictate terms to them.
2.Steel is called the backbone of the modern industry because almost everything we use is either made of steel or has been made with machinery or tools made out of steel. The steel industry is basically the feeder industry, whose products are the raw materials for other industries
