Write the causes of bastar rebellion?

The Bastar Rebellion or the Bhumkal Rebellion took place in 1910 around the present India state of Chhatisgarh. Out of 84 paraganas in the district of Bastar, the rebellion spread to 46 of them. Here are the main reasons for the rebellion:
Bastar was made up of many tribes speaking different languages but they all had one thing in common and that is protecting their way of life. At the time, India was under British rule. The British Governor enacted many laws which threatened their way of life. Such as the Forest Laws which restricted free movement to a majority of the forest. The Governor also displaced many tribes from the forest. Another reason was the exploitation of the tribes providing free labor for the colonial officers. Most importantly was the degrading of the Bastar King who the tribes believed was the incarnation of God. For these reasons resentment towards the British rule was made known by the people and some of the elite. and thus led to the rebellion.

The people of Bastar rose in rebellion in 1910 against the colonial forest policies. Bastar is a tribal region in the state of Chhattisgarh inhabited by Gonds, Marias, Dhurwas and other communities. The main reasons for the rebellion were −

(1) The people of Bastar lived in harmony with nature and were dependent on forest products for their survival.

(2) The colonial forest policy reserved two-thirds of the forests and displaced the people from their villages that came within the boundary of the forests.

(3) People were prohibited from hunting and collecting forest products for their personal use.

 The rebellion of Bastar in 1910 was caused by a combination of various factors. These included displacement, increased land rent and demands for free labour and goods. The most important reason was the attitude of the colonial government which wanted to subjugate the people and destroy their way of living by taking over their lands. In 1905, the colonial government proposed the reservation of two-thirds of the forest area and stop shifting cultivation, hunting and collection of forest produce. Those who were allowed to stay in the reserved areas had to work for the forest department. Gatherings of people took place where these issues were discussed. Gunda Dhur was an important leader during this time. Secret messages inviting the villagers to rebel were passed during this time. Bazaars were looted, houses of officials, traders, schools and police stations were burnt and robbed. All those who were attacked were associated with colonial state and its laws. The British ultimately put the rebellion down by employing heavy force. The reservations though, were temporarily suspended and the area under them was reduced to half.

1.      When the colonial government proposed to reserve two-thirds ofthe forest in 1905, and stop shifting cultivation, hunting and collectionof forest produce, the people of Bastar were very worried.2.      Somevillages were allowed to stay on in the reserved forests on the conditionthat they worked free for the forest department in cutting andtransporting trees, and protecting the forest from fire. So these came to be known as forest villages.3.      People of other villageswere displaced without any notice or compensation. Villagers had been suffering from increased land rents and frequentdemands for free labour and goods by colonial officials.4.      Then the terrible famines came, in 1899-1900 and again in 1907-1908. Rebellion became inevitable.

Four practice of shifting agriculture was considered by European foresters as harmful. 1 They were of the opinion that any land that was cultivated in this manner could not produce trees which would yield timber for railways. 2 They also argued that burning of forests was a dangerous activity. The flames could spread and burn valuable timber. 3 In addition, the government found that calculation of tax was a problem with shifting agriculture as the cultivators did not stay on the same piece of land for more than three years. 4 The government, hence, decided to ban shifting agriculture. Many people lost their means of livelihood and were displaced from their homes.

Colonial management of the forests in bastar and in Java run along same lines. Bastar is located in India and Java is located in Indonesia. The people of bastar had a great respect on mother earth. The people of Bastar lived in harmony within their own limited boundaries. The villagers in Java was very much the same as people of Bastar. Villagers were restricted from entering the forests in Java.

The rebellion at Bastar was caused due to the several hostilities that had to be faced by the villagers of Bastar. The rebellon started in the year 1910 after the British increased he land rents on the people and forced the people to work for the British officials on gathering timber from the forests and also protected the forests from fires. The people were given the privileage to live in such forests but they had to satisfy certain conditions for the British government which was irresistable for such people. Many of the people lost their habitat and had to work in British government factories or on tea and coffee plantations under British officials. Some people also had to steal forest products and if they were caught, they had to bribe the guards or get punished by law. Due to this many promient leaders like Birsa Munda and Gunda Dhur arose to give rise to a rebellion against the British Forest Policies
