Indian freedom struggle is a history about numerous leaders who fought for the independence we rejoice today. One among them was Birsa Munda. Born in a Munda tribal family at Ulihatu in Khunti district of Jharkhand (then Bengal presidency), Birsa took the path of addressing the agrarian crisis to fight feudalism and British Raj. His slogan "Abua raj seter jana, maharani raj tundu jana" ("Let the kingdom of the queen be ended and our kingdom be established") is still very popular in Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.
