Hill Marias, bison-horn Marias, as other tribals of Bastar, loved their land fiercely. So did they love their freedom from slavery to the British (feringhees). Their deep resentment caused the ‘Bhumkal’ (lit. earthquake) of 1910 which was inspired by a legendary hero, Gunda Dhur, who was a historical character. The revolt engulfs the entire Bastar. Its central event came with the killing of the chief feringhee. The ‘Bhumkal’ was suppressed.
