The Gudem rebellion was started by Alluri Sitaram Raju in the Gudem Hills of Andhra Pradesh. He was motivated by Mahatma Gandhi.
The hill people were angry as the colonial people barred them from going to the forests to collect fuel and graze their cattle. The tribals believed that Raju to be an incarnation of God who drew inspiration from the Non-cooperation movement.
He convinced the tribals to give up drinking and wear khadi and asserted that Indian could only be liberated by force. The rebels attacked the police stations to kill British officials and carried guerrilla warfare to attain Swaraj. It started in 1922 and ended with the killing of Raju in 1924.
