A member of a Dravidian people of central India, or their language; historically known for iron-working and resistance to colonial rule.
From Dravidian origins, the Kol people's name possibly derives from their occupation. British colonial records heavily documented the Kol Uprising (1832-1833) and their society.
The Kol people orchestrated one of India's first organized rebellions against British rule in 1832—decades before the famous 1857 uprising, making them pioneering anti-colonial resistance fighters.
