In the forests of Chhattisgarh, the story of Gunda Dhur and the Bastar Rebellion of 1910 continues to inspire. As British colonial rule tightened its grip, imposing the Indian Forest Act of 1878 and seizing tribal lands, Gunda Dhur, a leader from the Dhurwa tribe, rose to the challenge. On February 2, 1910, he ignited the rebellion, communicating through secret codes using mango boughs and arrows. Although the British retaliated with force, Gunda Dhur vanished undefeated, leaving behind a legacy of resistance. Today, his courage and defiance remain a powerful symbol of the struggle for justice and autonomy against oppressive colonial forces.
