The correct answer is B. Birsa Munda.
Birsa Munda was a tribal leader who fought against the British in the late 19th century. He is considered a national hero in India, and his birthday is celebrated as Birsa Munda Day on November 15.
Birsa Munda was born in 1874 in the village of Ulihatu in the Ranchi district of Jharkhand. He was the son of a Munda tribal chief. Birsa Munda was educated at a mission school, but he was also exposed to the traditional beliefs and practices of his people.
In the late 19th century, the British were encroaching on tribal lands in Jharkhand. They were also imposing taxes on the tribal people, which they could not afford to pay. This led to widespread resentment among the tribal people.
Birsa Munda emerged as a leader of the tribal people in the early 1890s. He preached against the British and called for the tribal people to unite against them. He also revived traditional Munda religious practices and rituals.
In 1895, Birsa Munda led a rebellion against the British. The rebellion was initially successful, but the British eventually suppressed it. Birsa Munda was arrested and died in prison in 1899.
Despite his early death, Birsa Munda is considered a national hero in India. He is remembered for his fight against the British and for his efforts to preserve the culture and traditions of the tribal people.
