The Khasi Darbar Hall Resolutions, which were conducted from march 21 to 23, 1945, played an important role in the struggle for tribal autonomy in northeast India. Bhimbor Deori was one of the chief designers of the resolutions, which urged the recovery of independent homelands of several indigenous communities against Indian occupation. This incident reflected the desire of tribal people for self-determination and their resolve to resist colonial as well as post-colonial oppression, serving as a critical juncture in the tribal rights history in India.

Bhimbor Deori of Deoris Tribe
description
Bhimbor Deori worked continuously in getting land pattas for indigenous Assamese at a time when the British government was completely ignoring land revenue issues. His advocacy became important in ensuring land rights for tribal communities that were often marginalized and deprived of land. Deori’s efforts to push for equitable land distribution helped empower the indigenous population, giving them a sense of ownership and a stake in their own socio-economic development.
