Synopsis The tribals of India have a strong sense of freedom and a realisation of what their rights are. And whenever these two aspects of their life, which is closest to their psyche, are attacked in any form, however slight, they not only feel offended but also stage a revolt. Regardless of whether their rulers have been the early maharajas, the Moghuls, or the British, they have never feared the might and power of their sovereign to fight for what they consider their freedom and their rights. Tribal Revolts in India Under the British Raj studies the various revolts staged by them during the period the country was under foreign rule. The narration is based on original government records, administrative reports and published works, and therefore it is as authentic as can be. Students, teachers and researchers in Indian history will find this book of immense value in judging how the tribals of India fought off attempts to trample their freedom or their rights. Those interested in studying and wanting to know more about the tribals of the country will also find this book interesting.
