The Bastar Rebellion or the Bhumkal Rebellion took place in 1910 around the present India state of Chhatisgarh. Out of 84 paraganas in the district of Bastar, the rebellion spread to 46 of them. Here are the main reasons for the rebellion:

Bastar was made up of many tribes speaking different languages but they all had one thing in common and that is protecting their way of life. At the time, India was under British rule. The British Governor enacted many laws which threatened their way of life. Such as the Forest Laws which restricted free movement to a majority of the forest. The Governor also displaced many tribes from the forest. Another reason was the exploitation of the tribes providing free labor for the colonial officers. Most importantly was the degrading of the Bastar King who the tribes believed was the incarnation of God. For these reasons resentment towards the British rule was made known by the people and some of the elite. and thus led to the rebellion.
