RAMPA REBELLION

Prime Minister left for Andhra Pradesh's Bhimavaram to attend the 125th birth anniversary celebrations of freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju.

About Alluri Sitarama Raju

Born on July 4 in the year 1897, Alluri Sitarama Raju is remembered for his fight against the British administration to safeguard the interests of the tribal communities in the Eastern Ghats region.
In the year 1922, Indian revolutionary Alluri Sitaram Raju with more than 500 tribal people led the Rampa Rebellion against the British raj for their imposition of the 1882 Madras Forest Act, which restricted the free movement of the tribal community within their own forests.
Forced labour, embargoes on collecting minor protest produce, and ban on tribal agriculture practices led to severe distress among the Koyas of the Godavari agency area led to a rebellion known as the “rampa rebellion” or “manyam rebellion”
Rampa's rebellion serves as a proxy for the many struggles of the tribal and non-tribal communities against British rule.
Though Alluri Sitaram was not tribal but he understood the restriction that the British administration placed on the tribal way of life.
He was finally captured, tied to a tree, and shot dead by the British administration.
