Which tribal leader led a revolt against the British and the Nizam in the early 20th century?

Komaram Bheem
Ramji Gond
Alluri Sitarama Raju
Birsa Munda

The correct answer is: Alluri Sitarama Raju.

Alluri Sitarama Raju was an Indian independence activist who led the Rampa Rebellion against the British Raj and the Nizam of Hyderabad in the early 20th century. He was born in 1897 in the village of Chintapalle in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. He was a member of the Koyas, a tribal group that lived in the forests of the Eastern Ghats.

Raju was educated at the local school and then at the Rajahmundry Christian College. He was a bright student and was interested in Indian history and culture. He was also influenced by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and other Indian independence leaders.

In 1922, Raju left his studies and returned to his village. He was concerned about the exploitation of the tribal people by the British and the Nizam. He started a campaign to educate the tribal people about their rights and to organize them against the British and the Nizam.

In 1922, Raju led a group of tribal people in an attack on a police station in the village of Alluru. The attack was successful and the police station was destroyed. Raju and his followers then went on to attack other British and Nizam targets.

The British and the Nizam responded by sending troops to the area. Raju and his followers were forced to flee into the forests. They continued their campaign of guerrilla warfare against the British and the Nizam.

In 1924, Raju was captured by the British. He was tried and sentenced to death. He was executed on May 7, 1924.

Raju is remembered as a hero of the Indian independence movement. He is considered a martyr by the tribal people of Andhra Pradesh. His birthday is celebrated as Alluri Sitarama Raju Jayanti every year on May 30.

  • Komaram Bheem was a tribal leader who fought against the Nizam of Hyderabad in the early 20th century.
  • Ramji Gond was a tribal leader who fought against the British in the 19th century.
