The Rampa region, primarily inhabited by Koya and Konda tribes in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, saw several revolts against exploitation and oppressive policies. The rebellion of 1879-1880 was specifically triggered by grievances against the forest laws, the exploitation by moneylenders and merchants, and the oppression by the Mansabdars (local overlords who were intermediaries for revenue collection). Tribal chiefs led the uprising against these intermediaries and the British administration supporting them.
