Abstract: The rise of the voice of resistance in colonial India was primarily influenced by several socio-economic causes, encompassing a wide range of resistance and revolt, such as non-violent activities and armed revolutions. The Non-cooperation movement was one of the non-violent movements. The armed uprisings included the Rebellion of 1857 as well as the Quit India Movement. The uprising of 1857 was regarded as the preeminent populist insurrection of the 19th century. Exploring the Indian individuals who are passionate about asserting their rights and preserving their culture and history, we find that Indian people endured various forms of injustice and atrocities during British colonial authority, against which they valiantly battled via numerous movements. Tribal movements such as the Santhal, Munda Ulgalan, Kherwar or Salpha Har movements, as well as the Kacha Nagas of Cachar, and peasant movements in various states, in which Gandhi also participated to support the peasants, were initiated to address the issues of land occupation. These movements aimed to challenge the British Army and were faced by every Indian citizen. During colonial times, Indian society experienced significant struggle and prejudice, which had a profound impact on the psyche of the Indian society. These are the primary factors that enable society to express their concerns to the British government. These movements enabled Indians to resist British Rule and gain the ability to challenge them, ultimately leading to India's liberation from Colonial Rule. The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively depict and analyse the tribal and peasant movements in order to have a thorough understanding of their nature and the impact they had on the social, economic, and political structure of that time.
