Birsa Munda, a tribal leader and folk hero, operated against the British in the Chota Nagpur region. This region is located in present-day Jharkhand in eastern India. Birsa Munda was a champion of the rights of the indigenous people and fought against British colonialism and the oppressive policies implemented by the British authorities. He led a rebellion in the late 19th century known as the "Birsa Munda Uprising," which aimed to challenge the British rule and protect the tribal rights and culture. Birsa Munda`s resistance movement gained significant support from the local tribal communities in the Chota Nagpur region. His efforts continue to inspire and symbolize the struggle for tribal rights in India.
