Amar Shaheed Veer Ganga Narayan Singh is called the hero of Bhumij rebellion. The revolt by the Bhumijs against the British in more than 60 years, from 1767 AD to 1833 AD, has been called the Bhumij Rebellion. The British have called it "Ganga Narayan's Hungama" while historians have also written it as the Chuad rebellion. In 1765 AD, Shah Alam, the emperor of Delhi, gave the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar, Orissa to the East India Company. Due to this exploitation of the tribals started, then the Bhumij revolted.[1]
Chuad literally means dacoit or robber. Many historians such as J.C Jha, E.T.Dalton, W.W.Hunter, H.H.Risley, J.C.price, S.C.Roy, Bimla Sharan, Surjit Sinha etc. have called Bhumij as Chuad. Bhumij were very brave. Bhumijs have always raised their voice against injustice, and fought.[2]
