Birsa was deeply influnced by many of the ideas he came in touch within his growing up years. The movment that he led aimed t reforming tribal society. He urged the munda to give up drinking liquor, clean their village, and stop beliving in witchcraft and sorcery. He often remembered the golden past of the mundas, when they lived a happy life, contructed embankments, tapped natural springs, planted trees and orchards, practised cultivation to earn their livings. They did not kill their relatives. They lived honestly. Birsa wanted to restore this glorious past.

Birsa’s vision of golden age was to have their land free of dikus. He considered that age to be the ‘age of truth’. According to Birsa, in the golden age, the tribal sirdars will be able to rule among themselves and no one will be there to dictate terms to them. His golden age vision was to have an age with no vices like liquor, witchcraft, sorcery and uncleanliness. He did not want any role of outsider participants like missionaries, Hindu landlords, moneylenders, traders and Europeans.
