The Incredible Life of Birsa Munda the Great Revolutionary Leader

By Swati Sengupta

DeScriPtion

Birsa Munda lived in one of the villages that dotted the Chhotanagpur

region in today's Jharkhand. He was a dreamy boy with an uncanny ability

to mesmerize not only humans but birds and animals too with his words and

music. As he grew up, he became more and more aware of the exploitation

of the Adivasi people by rich landowners and the British government. Birsa

spoke out one day, and from that moment on, he started a journey that saw

him become one of India's greatest tribal leaders and icons of resistance.

Birsa Munda rallied his people, telling them to stand up for their traditional

rights to the forests and their land. He exhorted them to set aside old

superstitions. And he led them in armed confrontations with the mighty

British police forces.

The extraordinary life of this great leader comes alive for a new generation of

readers in this biography that is as engaging as it is inspiring.
