The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid tributes to Bhagwan Birsa Munda on his Jayanti.
About:
Birsa Munda (1875 – 1900) was an Indian tribal freedom fighter, religious leader, and folk hero who belonged to the Munda tribe.
He spearheaded a tribal religious millenarian movement that arose in the Bengal Presidency (now Jharkhand) in the late 19th century, during the British Raj.
The revolt mainly concentrated in the Munda belt of Khunti, Tamar, Sarwada and Bandgaon.
His slogan threatening the British Raj—Abua raj seter jana, maharani raj tundu jana ("Let the kingdom of the queen be ended and our kingdom be established")—is remembered even today.
His portrait hangs in the Indian Parliament Museum; he is the only tribal leader to have been so honoured.
