Explanation:

Birsa Munda was a young freedom fighter and a tribal leader, whose spirit of activism in the late nineteenth century, is remembered to be a strong mark of protest against British rule in India. He spearheaded an Indian tribal religious Millenarian movement that arose in the tribal belt of modern-day Bihar and Jharkhand in the late 19th century, during the British Raj, thereby making him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement. Hence statement 1 is correct.

Birsa's claim to be a messenger of God and the founder of a new religion sounded preposterous to the mission. There were also within his sect converts from Christianity, mostly Sardars. His simple system of offering was directed against the church which levied a tax. And the concept of one God appealed to his people who found his religion and economical relig healer, a miracleworker, and a preacher spread, out of all proportion to the facts. Hence statement 2 is correct. His achievements are even more remarkable for having been accomplished before the age of 25. In recognition of his impact on the nationals movement, the state of Jharkhand was created on his birth anniversary in 2000.
