Explanation:

A Closer Look

The tribal groups in different parts of the country rebelled against the changes in forest laws, new restrictions on their practices, and their exploitation by traders and moneylenders.

Birsa Munda

Birsa Munda declared that God had appointed him to save his people from trouble, to free them from the slavery of dikus (foreigners, robbers).

Thousands became the followers of Birsa.

A movement began under the leadership of Birsa; the political aims of the Birsa Movement were to drive out Christian missionaries, moneylenders, Hindu landlords, and the government, and to set up a Munda Raj.

As the movement spread, British government officials arrested Birsa in 1895, and in 1897, he was released.

He then toured the villages to gather support for his movement. He urged people to destroy the Ravanas (European devils) and establish an independent kingdom under his leadership.

Birsa died in 1900 and the movement initiated by him faded out, but historians even today study it as an important and popular event in the story of British-ruled India.
