Birsa Munda, an Indian tribal independence activist and folk hero, led a religious millenarian movement in the late 19th century against British colonial rule. Educated under Jaipal Nag, he briefly converted to Christianity before founding the Birsait faith. Birsa opposed British attempts to convert tribals to Christianity through education, advocating for tribal rights and resisting land grabbing. He united the Munda and Oraon communities, symbolizing resistance against colonial authorities and missionaries. Birsa’s impact on Indian independence movement history is significant, as seen in his portrait displayed in the Indian Parliament Museum.
