Which tribal warrior was sentenced to death by the British Government for…

The correct answer is the Gond king Shankar Shah of the Garha (Garha-Mandla) kingdom. During the Revolt of 1857, Shankar Shah and his son Raghunath Shah composed and circulated rousing patriotic verse that incited people against British rule. For this "crime" of writing inflammatory poetry, the British arrested them and blew both of them from the mouth of a cannon at Jabalpur on 18 September 1857. Tantya Bhil was a Bhil guerrilla leader hanged in 1889; Khajya Nayak was a Bhil leader killed in the battle of Ambapani in 1858; and Badal Bhoi was a Gond freedom fighter from Chhindwara — none of them was executed for writing poetry.
