‘In this, our 75th year of
Independence … we needed quality literature around our great tribal freedom
fighters. This
book is a truly commendable start in that direction.
—Arjun Munda, Minister of Tribal Affairs
Our first war of Independence was not in 1857.
In fact, tribal mutinies against the British began at least 75 years before
the 1857 revolution. These battles were fought
with traditional bows and arrows and spears, and predated the reported
political movement that came to the fore in the
latter part of the nineteenth century.
As we complete 75 years of Independence, it is only fair to acknowledge
that a parallel freedom movement had existed in
our far-flung villages and jungles, away from the mainstream freedom
movement acknowledged in the books of history.
The Great Tribal Warriors of Bharat is a humble attempt to honour these
largely unsung heroes of an epochal movement,
whose contribution remains largely unacknowledged. The book begins with
Tilka Manjhi, who unleashed guerilla warfare
to combat the British, and includes Jaipal Singh Munda, one of the most
nuanced speakers of our Constituent Assembly,
tracking the trajectory of this movement. These brave warriors came from
all parts of India, including the Northeast and
the South, and from all tribes existing in the country.
This book is a rare collection and a journey into self-discovery for our
civilization turned nation.
