Govindas Ramdas was a Bhagat[1] and a member of the Koli tribe who led rebels against the British East India Company between 1826–1830. His followers thought that he had supernatural powers.[2] Little is known of him but on the night of 17 March 1826, he led 500 armed followers into Thasra, near Dakor, and established himself as ruler.[1]
