He was the leader of a tribal religious millenarian movement that arose in the Bengal Presidency (now Jharkhand) in the late nineteenth century, during the British Raj, making him a significant figure in Indian independence history. The Munda belt of Khunti, Tamar, Sarwada, and Bandgaon was the epicentre of the revolt. He led an Indian tribal religious Millenarian movement across the tribal belt of modern-day Bihar and Jharkhand during British rule in the late 1800s. In India, his birthday is commemorated as Birsa Munda Jayanti, which falls on the same day as Jharkhand Foundation Day.
