Question

What are the causes and impact of Munda revolt ?

Answer 1

The political aim of the birsa movement was to drive away missionaries, moneylenders, traders, Hindu landlords and the government and to establish Munda Raj. They were the cause of the misery of the mundas. The British government was taking away their lands and missionaries were criticising Munda culture.

There were mainly two impacts:- First it forced the colonial government to introduce laws so that the land of the tribals could not be easily taken away by the dikus. Second it showed once again that the tribal people had the capacity to protest against injustice and express their anger against colonial rule. They did this in their own way, inventing their own rituals and symbols of struggle.
