Anybody know of this badass? I'm ashamed to say that I only recently heard his name.

Anyone from Bihar or Jharkhand will know him. A hero. Would be a decent choice for biography?

Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Every life story is worth telling.
Here we have a nice confluence of Christian missionary activity, the Raj and tribal rights. I'm sure a decent film is hidden in there somewhere.
Even today, the confluence of Indian crony capitalism and tribal rights is a battleground, and a sad state of affairs.

Yeah, have heard of him. One of the new age Bong director, Birsa Dasgupta, was probably named after him. People in Bengal do look upto him.
