Explanation:
background of rebellion
Birsa Munda started making people aware against the anti-people policies of the English government among the Munda tribals. When he was stopped and arrested by the Government, he started spreading political consciousness among the tribals on the pretext of religious teachings. He started calling himself God. He started programmes for religious and social reform in the Munda community and vowed to get rid of all evils.
Rebellion and its aftermath
In 1898, a large gathering of mundas was held on the Dombari hills, in which the background of the movement was prepared. The work of spreading political consciousness among the tribals continued. Finally, on December 24, 1899, the Birsapanthis waged war against the British. By 5th January, 1900, the sparks of rebellion spread all over manda region. The British army started suppressing the movement.
On January 9, 1900, Munda became immortal in history when hundreds of shaved men fought the British on Dombar Paah D. The movement almost came to an end. The arrested mundas were tried in which one was hanged, 39 sentenced to life imprisonment, 23 to fourteen years.
