The Bhumkal Rebellion, also known as the Bastar Rebellion, was one of the major rebellions against British colonial rule in India.
The rebellion was led by Gunda Dhur, a tribal leader from the village of Nethanar.
He rallied the tribes and organised a guerrilla warfare against the British.
The rebellion was named 'Bhumkal', meaning 'Earthquake', symbolizing the shaking of the British administration.
It took place in 1910.
Bastar, located in the present-day state of Chhattisgarh, was a princely state during the British rule in India.
The British administration introduced many new systems and policies that led to the economic exploitation and socio-cultural disruption of the tribal communities living there, which were primarily the Gond and Maria tribes.
