Explanation:
The Chotanagpur region is the adivasi dominated plateau in eastern India, which covers much of Jharkhand as well as adjacent parts of Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. Almost one hundred years before India’s First War of Independence (1857), the adivasi tribals of Chotanagpur region had declared war against the British colonial rule in the area. The first ever revolt in India, against the landlords and the British government was led by Tilka Manjhi, a valiant Santhal leader from the tribal belt in 1771. The war was not a full fledged nationalist one. Nevertheless, these valiant tribals fought for their land and its resources and most importantly - their rights.
Tilka wanted to liberate his people from the clutches of the unscrupulous landlords and restore the lands of his ancestors. The British government sent its troops and crushed the uprisings. Soon after in 1779, the Bhumij tribes of Manbhum, the Chero tribes of Palamau, the Oraons in Gumla, the Munda tribes of Tamar, the Hos in Singhbhum and the Santhals revolted. The Britishers were given the right treatment for their exploitation of the people and resources of the land. Sidho and Kanho were also two legendary heroes of the Santhal tribals of Chotanagpur who fought against the oppressive rule of the British government.
However, the most celebrated and popular tribal leader of the tribal clan was Birsa Munda.
