Birsa Munda was born in mid 1870's. As the son of a poor farmer, he grew up around the forests of bohonda, grazing sheep, playing flute and dancing in the local akhara. Birsa heard tales of Munda uprisings of the past and saw the leaders of the community urging the people to revolt. Birsa had took about various kinds of education and learnt about different practices.
he was deeply influenced by many ideas that he came in touch with in his growing up years.his movement was aimed at reforming tribal societies.
In 1895, Birsa urged his followers to recover their glorious past. his political movement for the golden age of the tribals worried the British.As the movement spread, the British officials arrested Birsa in 1895 on charges of revolting and jailed him for two years.
Later, when he was released in 1897,he began touring villages to gather support.he started using traditional symbols to rouse people. As the movement spread widely, in 1900 Birsa died of cholera and the movement faded out. but this movement became significant in two ways, one- it had forced the colonial government to introduce laws so that the land of the tribals could not be easily taken away by the dikus. two- it showed once again that the tribal people had capacity to protest against injustice and express their anger against the colonial rule.
