The rebellion of Bastar in 1910 was caused by a combination of various factors. These included displacement, increased land rent and demands for free labour and goods. The most important reason was the attitude of the colonial government which wanted to subjugate the people and destroy their way of living by taking over their lands. In 1905, the colonial government proposed the reservation of two-thirds of the forest area and stop shifting cultivation, hunting and collection of forest produce. Those who were allowed to stay in the reserved areas had to work for the forest department. Gatherings of people took place where these issues were discussed. Gunda Dhur was an important leader during this time. Secret messages inviting the villagers to rebel were passed during this time. Bazaars were looted, houses of officials, traders, schools and police stations were burnt and robbed. All those who were attacked were associated with colonial state and its laws. The British ultimately put the rebellion down by employing heavy force. The reservations though, were temporarily suspended and the area under them was reduced to half.

Answer 2

The fear of the people of Bastar includes many, for instance, the attitude of the colonial government, increased land rents, and the demand for free labor, the displacement of the community and the introduction of various forest acts etc. As a result, the people of Bastar launched a revolt against the British government as the government banned the shifting cultivation, hunting and gathering and introduced the reserved forest acts, which affected the lives of the people of this area.
