Detailed Solution

In Gudem Hills, the Colonial government had blocked large forest areas. The tribal peasants of Andhra Pradesh's Gudem Hill revolted against the British and fought for swaraj. The tribal people felt their traditional rights were being violated because the colonial government had closed off large tracts of forest, making it impossible for them to enter the forest to graze their cattle.
