Answer 1

The Munda rebellion too is one of the most important tribal uprisings against the British rule in india.
The Mundas were a prominent tribe in the Bihar region.During the British rule ,many non-tribals migrated to the traditional tribal areas and grabbed the land owned by tribal groups. In due course , the tribals were compelled to work as labourers under the non-tribals . This system was locally called bethbegari or forced labour .
The Munda rebellion was led by a great Munda leader called Birsa Munda. The main rebellion took place in the region south of Ranchi in 1899-1900.The rebellion aimed to drive away the British and establish Munda Raj or Munda rule in this region. The rebellion came to be called Ulugan or the Great Tumult.
Birsa Munda was a strong young man . He claimed to be God's representative , born to protect the Mundas .
Birsa Munda strongly protested against non-tribals occupying tribal lands . He also disliked the moneyenders and the zamindars who ill-treated the Mundas . He advised the Munda Farmers not to pay rent to the zamindars.
Birsa Munda started the revolt in the Chotha Nagpur region . The entire Munda community joined together under his leadership . They attacked British officials missionaries and police stations. However,the British captured Birsa Munda and suppressed the rebels.
