When the government began forcing them to contribute beggar for road building, the hill people revolted. Alluri Sitaram Raju was their inspiration. he claimed that he had a variety of special powers Captivated by Raju, the rebels proclaimed that he was an incarnation of God. Raju was inspired by the Non-Cooperation Movement, and persuaded people to wear khadi and give up drinking. he also asserted that India could be liberated only by the use of force, not non-violence. The Gudem rebels attacked police stations, attempted to kill British officials and carried on guerrilla warfare for achieving swaraj. Raju was captured and executed in 1924
