 The 19th century witnessed a number of tribal rebellions against the British rule in

India as well as Odisha.


 All those rebellions occurred due to strong dislike for the new rule, the
oppressive revenue system, high rent, threat to traditional privileges of the tribal
people, etc.
 The Ghumsur rebellion under the leadership of Dora Bisoi and Chakra Bisoi,
Keonjhar rebellion under the leadership of Ratna Naik and Dharanidhar Naik and
the Munda uprising under the leadership of Birsa Munda are some of the
important tribal uprisings of Odisha against the British authority.
 The Kandha tribe rose in rebellion under the leadership of Kamal Lochan Dora
Bisoi. In order suppress the rebellion of Dora Bisoi, the British authorities took
several measures.
 When the rebellion of Dora Bisoi became intolerable, the British authority under
the Madras Presidency sent George Edward Russel to suppress the rebellion under
Dora.
 At the instruction of Henry Ricketts, the Commissioner of Odisha, Raja Somnath
Singh of Angul had played a very important role in surrendering Dora Bisoi.
Lastly, Raja Somanath Singh of Angul handed over Dora Bisoi to the British
forces in 1837.
 The Kandha rebellion did not stop after Dora‟s imprisonment and death.
 His nephew, Chakra Bisoi, took Dora‟s place and resolved to take revenge for his
uncle‟s imprisonment and death.

of Ratna Naik of Keonjhar.
