Answer:
The tribals of Gudem Hills of Andhra Pradesh interpreted Swaraj as the restoration of their traditional rights over forest produce and acess to their means of livelihood. This was because the colonial government had closed large forest areas, preventing the access of people to the forests they depended upon for grazing cattle and collecting fuelwood. The government also forced people into begar for constructing roads.
The people finally revolted under the leadership of Alluri Sitaram Raju. Their movement was militant in nature and they used tactics that were different from those used by Congress. Raju was inspired by the Non-cooperation movement and persuaded people to adopt khadi and give up drinking. However, his other practices included the use of violence against the government to achieve liberation.
