Shahid Gundadhur was a prominent figure in the Tribal Rebellion against the local king and British Rule in Bastar, Chhattisgarh in 1910. He led a violent movement called ‘The Bhumkal Movement’, which is regarded as the first war of independence.
The oppressive British Rule in Bastar led to widespread discontent, and the tribal movement united under a common motive. To spread the message of the rebellion, they used creative signaling by adopting ‘lal mirch and aam-ki-chatni’, known locally as ‘Dara-Miri’, as the most effective means of communication.
The movement destroyed many British offices and communication networks. On 16th February 1910, a war took place at Khadag Ghat on Indravati River, resulting in the martyrdom of many people. Although the British could not capture Gundadhur, the movement was brutally crushed in May 1910.
