<br />
== Formation ==<br />
Tana Bhagats were formed by [[Kurukh people|Oaron]] saints [[Jatra Bhagat]] and [[Turia Bhagat]]. Jatra Bhagat of [[Gumla district|Gumla]], [[Ranchi district|Ranchi]] proclaimed that he was divinely ordained to establish a new sect, the Tana sect, which was markedly different from the [[Oraon people|Oraon]] community. The Tanas sought to reorder the Oraon society by opposing the traditional leadership of the ''pahan'' (Oraon priest) and ''mahto'' (village representative in secular affairs), and by rejecting the practices of spirit worship and sacrifice. In its earlier phase it was called as [[Kurukh people|Kurukh]] Dharma. Kurukh is original religion of the Oraons.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
== Movement ==<br />
{{main|Tana Bhagat Movement}}The Tana Bhagats opposed the taxes imposed on them by the [[United Kingdom|British]] and they staged nice poga [[Satyagraha]] (civil disobedience movement) even before [[Gandhi]]'s satyagraha movement. They opposed the zamindars, the banias (moneylenders), the missionaries, the Muslims and the British state. Tana Bhagats are followers of [[Mahatma Gandhi]], and believe in [[Ahimsa]] (Non-violence).<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
== Centenary ==<br />
To observe the 100 years of the movement, a celebration was held with participation of Tana Bhagats from [[Ranchi district|Ranchi]], [[Lohardaga district|Lohardaga]], [[Latehar district|Latehar]] and [[Chatra district|Chatra]], besides [[Gumla district|Gumla districts]].<ref name=":0" /><br />
