History Of Jharkhand
Birsa Munda from1875 to 1900 and Sidho and Kanho are the legendary heroes of the tribals of Jharkhand state who fought against the oppressive rule of the British government.
Sidho and Kanho were revolutionaries among the tribals, now regarded as tribal heroes.
For a long time, Jharkhand remained as a part of Bihar, but after Indian independence, the demand for a separate state of tribals started gaining momentum. The 28th state of the Indian Union was brought into existence by the Bihar reorganization Act on November 15,2000- the birth anniversary of the legendary Bhagwan Birsa Munda.
