Birsa Munda was a tribal leader in British-controlled India who led a revolt against colonial oppression in the late 1800s. As a young boy, Birsa experienced the hardships faced by tribal communities under British rule. He began spreading awareness of the injustices and organizing protests against the British. Birsa emerged as a successful leader, rallying tribal peoples and staging numerous demonstrations demanding their land rights be restored. Though his movement faded after his death in 1900 in a Ranchi jail at age 25, Birsa is remembered as a visionary who courageously fought for his community's liberation from British exploitation.
