Later on, the government withdrew the additional salt levy. ● Mukti Larai Movement (1858- 1895): Chotanagpur was the scene of this movement between 1858 and 1895. It was aimed at regaining the tribals’ age old right over land by pushing out the landlords. In the 1890s, the movement turned against all Europeans as they were suspected to be colluding with the landlords. British rule was perceived to be at the root of the problems faced by the tribals, therefore it had to end. When constitutional methods got little result, the tribals took to violence, using their traditional weapons such as bows and arrows. It was also knowns as Bokta Uprising or Sardari Larai movement.
