Detailed Solution

Birsa Munda used traditional symbols and language to rouse people, urging them to destroy "Ravana." Birsa Munda was a tribal activist who protested against the British government to fight for the rights of the tribal communities. During his movements, he was once arrested and jailed. After being freed in 1897, Birsa started visiting the villages to rally support. He roused the populace with traditional imagery and language, urging them to exterminate "Ravana" (dikus - the outsiders and the Europeans) and build a kingdom under his rule. Birsa and his supporters first attacked the symbols of European power. They looted zamindars' and moneylenders' homes, churches, and police stations.
