Banerjee highlighted the significance of Munda's legacy, stating that her government observes a state holiday on this occasion annually. On Sunday, she wrote on social media platform X, "I pay tribute to freedom fighter Birsa Munda on his death anniversary. His fearless patriotism, mentality of standing against injustice is our inspiration."
Banerjee expressed pride in the state's recognition of Munda's contributions, noting, "I am proud that our state government celebrates his birth anniversary as a holiday every year in honor of this brave martyr. We have named one of our universities in Jangalmahal after this legend of tribal society." Birsa Munda, born on November 15, 1875, was a significant tribal freedom fighter who led a movement against British colonial rule in the late 19th century. Known as "Dharti Aba," he was martyred on June 9, 1900, and remains a pivotal figure in India's independence history.
