Question

What is the basic cause of revolt of baster

Answer 1

The basic cause for the revolt in Bastar is to prevent reservations. As in 1910 the revolt broke out because the British planned to reserve 2/3rds of the forests. Revolt first broke out in the Kanger forests by Dhurwas. People feared of being forced to work for British and lose their livelihood. So they revolted. The revolution was suppressed but it suspended the work of reservation for a long time.
