About this listen

Long before the great uprisings of 1857, a fearless tribal leader rose against British colonial rule: Tilka Majhi. Leading a rebellion from 1771 to 1785, he united Adivasi communities, fought against British exploitation, and symbolised early anti-colonial resistance. His attack on British officer Augustus Cleveland and his brutal execution in 1785 mark a significant yet often overlooked chapter in India's fight for freedom.

In this episode of The Forgotten Pages, we dive into the life, resistance, and legacy of Tilka Majhi, the warrior who defied an empire.

🎧 Tune in now to rediscover a forgotten hero of India's history.
