Pradesh ?
Answers
In the gudem hill of Andhra Pradesh a militant guerilla movement spread in early 1920’s this movement was not similar to Gandhiji non-cooperation movement yet the inspiration came from Gandhiji.
The movement was basically protest against forest laws. Here, as in other forest regions, the colonial government has closed the forest areas, preventing people for entering forests to graze their cattle or to collect firewood or fruits. This enraged the people of the hills.Not only where they deprived of their livelihood and food but also their traditional rights too were denied when the government compelled them to work free (Begar) for road-building.

Answer:
In the early 1920s, a militant guerrilla movement grew in Andhra Pradesh's Gudem Hills. Gudem rebels attacked police stations, attempted to assassinate British officials, and waged guerilla warfare in order to gain swaraj.
Explanation:
In the early 1920s, a violent guerilla movement emerged across Andhra Pradesh's Gudem Hill. While this movement was not equivalent to Gandhiji's non-cooperation movement, Gandhiji was the inspiration for it.
Essentially, the movement was a protest against forest rules. The colonial authority has closed forest sections here, as it has in other forest zones, forbidding residents from entering woodlands to graze their livestock or collect firewood or fruits. The people of the hills were incensed by this. When the government forced them to work for free (Begar) for road-building, they were denied not only their livelihood and sustenance, but also their traditional rights.
They sprung up under the leadership of Alluri Sitaram Raju, who was well-known for his astrological predictions and healing abilities. He'd be able to withstand gunshots in his shorts. The rebels felt he was a divine incarnation. Despite his admiration for Gandhiji, Raju believed that India could only be emancipated via the use of force, not through nonviolence.
Gudem insurgents attacked police stations and tried to assassinate British officials.
Raju was apprehended and put to death in 1924.
