Explanation of the Leaders
- U Tirot Sing 📍 Meghalaya: He was a Khasi chief and one of the most prominent freedom fighters from the hills of northeast India. He led the Khasi rebellion against the British from 1829 to 1833 to prevent them from taking control of the Khasi Hills.
- Thalakkal Chandu 📍 Kerala: He was an archer and the commander-in-chief of the army of Pazhassi Raja. He was a leader of the Kurichiya tribe and played a key role in the Cotiote War (Kottayathu War) in the Wayanad region against the British East India Company in the early 1800s.
- Alluri Sitaram Raju 📍 Andhra Pradesh: A celebrated revolutionary, he led the Rampa Rebellion of 1922 (also known as the Manyam Rebellion) in the Eastern Ghats of present-day Andhra Pradesh. He organized the local tribal people against the oppressive forest laws of the British colonial government.
- Chakra Bisoi 📍 Odisha: He was a leader of the Khond tribe and led the Ghumsur Uprising in the 1840s and 50s. The rebellion was a fierce reaction against the British attempts to suppress the Khond’s traditional practice of ‘Meriah’ (human sacrifice).
