He was slain in battle and is remembered on 9th June as Birsa Shahadat Diwas day across Jharkhand. This video was recorded in Devalgada village in Chatra district of Jharkhand in 2015. The villagers filmed were fighting displacement by the proposed Magadh – Amrapali coal mine projects.The projects have since been operationalised, displacing hundreds from their ancestral lands.
