Some lines on contribution of Budhu Bhagat in the revolution of india

Since childhood, he had come to see the cruelty of the British and their sycophants. From childhood, he had a strong sense of vengeance against the injustice done to his people. They used to sit for hours thinking that how to take revenge from these tyrants. He saw how the sycophantic landlords of the British forcibly snatched away the finished crops of the farmers of his village, leaving the people living in his village to starve for many days.

Seeing these atrocities on his people, Budhu Bhagat started the 'Kol Rebellion' in the forests of Chhota Nagpur, Jharkhand. Under his leadership, the people of the Kol caste destroyed the property of zamindars, moneylenders and moneylenders who exploited the tribals. They plundered the government treasury and attacked the courts and police stations.

The English East India Company was so frightened by the Kol rebellion that it sent a large army equipped with state-of-the-art weapons to fight the tribals. The tribals fought them with the help of their traditional weapons of arrows, spears and gandases made from local resources and on several occasions gave a tough competition to the British with their style of guerrilla warfare.

But how long would the arrows last in front of guns and cannons? The British ruthlessly suppressed this rebellion. In the end the British started laying siege and surrounded 300 tribals and fired indiscriminately at them. A large number of Kol people were killed. Veer Budhu Bhagat became a victim of this firing.
