He was an Indian tribal independence activist, folk hero from the Indian tribal community ‘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 rule in India, thereby making him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement.
Many great heroes in Indian history have fought for the freedom of the country through their heroic stories. One of them is Birsa Munda, who set an example of patriotism by his heroic and courageous actions.
His birth anniversary is still celebrated by tribal people as far away as Mysore and Kodagu districts in Karnataka. The official celebration takes place at his samadhi sthal (mausoleum) in the Kokar neighbourhood of Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand.
