Ganga Narayan

[citation needed] According to the traditional Bhumij system, Lakshman Narayan Singh, the son of the elder queen, was the only one who had the succession.

[5][citation needed] In 1765, after acquiring the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, the East India Company imposed harsh revenue policies that exploited the poor farmers of Jungle Mahals, including regions like Manbhum, Barahbhum, and Singhbhum.

With his formation of the Sardar Guerrilla Vahini army, which garnered support from various local castes and tribal groups, he led a series of attacks against British forces and their collaborators.

His movement gained momentum, culminating in significant victories across Bengal and Bihar, and forcing the British to withdraw oppressive laws.

However, despite his early successes, Ganga Narayan was ultimately killed in battle on February 7, 1833, but his legacy as a hero of resistance against British rule endured, inspiring future struggles for freedom.
