New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid rich tributes to Bhagwan Birsa Munda on his Jayanti on Monday. Modi remembered his contribution to give strength to the Freedom Struggle and his fight for the interests of the Adivasi samaj.

"Like we mark 15th August, 26th January, Gandhi Jayanti and Sardar Patel Jayanti, we shall mark 15th November, the Jayanti of Bhagwan Birsa Munda as 'Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas'. This will be a day to celebrate the glorious tribal culture and contribution to national development".

Birsa Munda is revered as Bhagwan (God) by tribal communities across the country. Birsa Munda fought bravely against the country against the exploitative system of the British colonial system and spearheaded the movement against British oppression giving a call for ‘Ulgulan’ (Revolution). The declaration acknowledges the glorious history and cultural heritage of tribal communities.
