Detailed Solution

Birsa was born in the mid-1870s.
As the son of an impoverished father, he grew up in the Bohonda forests, grazing sheep, playing the flute, and dancing in the village akhara. Because of his father's poverty, he was forced to move from place to place in search of work. As a child, Birsa heard stories about previous Munda uprisings and witnessed the community's sirdars (leaders) inciting the people to revolt. They spoke of a golden past when the Mundas were not persecuted by the dikes and predicted a time when the community's ancestral rights would be restored. They saw themselves as the descendants of the region's first settlers, fighting for their rights to the land (Mulk ki larai). Reminding people of the importance of regaining their kingdom.
