Dear Student,
Answer to Q. 16 is:
Birsa Munda is considered to be the “Bhagawan” or God of Jharkhand. Birsa was a tribal leader who made his men realise that their lands were gradually been taken over by the British and that they were being reduced to the rank of bonded labours in their own lands. He had organised his first protest march for remission of forest dues.
