Shaheed Jirpa Singh Laya (3 May 1774 - 13 April 1833), was a revolutionary and the leader of Bhumij rebellion. Before independence, when the British started forcibly cultivating indigo from Indian farmers, breaking the traditional system, collecting salt tax was unlimited, auction system, Daroga system started, violation of inheritance rule, the British were beginning to establish their rights on the water, the forest and the land. In such a situation, the 'Bhumij Rebellion' started after getting fed up with the British rule. In Indian history, this movement is also known as 'Chuar Movement'. Jirpa Laya (Jilpa Laya) was appointed as the chief commander of the Ganganarayan Singh's army.[1]
Biography
[edit]Freedom fighter Jirpa Laya was born on May 3, 1774, in Bareda village of the then Jungle Mahal and present Nimdih block. His mother's name was Tarulata Singh and father's name was Pendai Singh, who was the traditional priest (laya) of Bareda Mauja. Jirpa was skilled in wielding traditional weapons with courage from childhood.
Rebellion
[edit]The Bhumij rebellion started from the village of Bandhdih in Nimdih block in protest against the unjust rule of the British rule. Ganga Narayan Singh had formed an army of five thousand people in Jungle Mahal, called Sardar Vahini Sena. In 1832–33, the identity of Ganga Narayan Singh is recorded in Indian history as the leader of the Bhumij rebellion. He appointed Jirpa Laya as the chief general of his army.[1]
In this battle, the British army was frightened by the fighting skills and military operations of Jirpa Laya. Army troops used to attack the British army during the rainy season as a strategy. Because, they could not use motor vehicle in adverse weather. In such a situation, the members of the army under the leadership of Jirpa Laya used to kill the British army while crossing the mountain, river, forest. During this, they used to loot guns, ration materials and other items from the cantonment. The British government, fed up with Jirpa Laya, fixed a reward of one thousand rupees for catching him dead or alive. On April 13, 1833, the British army arrested Jirpa Laya under a banyan tree in Bareda village of West Bengal under diplomacy, and was hanged the same day by the British officers who were frightened by them.[2]
