Veer Gendsingh (died 20 January 1825) was a freedom fighter and tribal leader from present-day Chhattisgarh, India. He was the Bhumia Raja of Paralkot (now part of Kanker district) and led the historic Paralkot Rebellion against British colonial rule in 1825.
Early Life
Veer Gendsingh was born in Bamhani village, located in the Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh. Belonging to the Halba tribal community, he held the position of Bhumia Raja (tribal king) and had significant influence in the Paralkot region.

In 1824 To 1825, Gendsingh organized a rebellion against the British East India Company due to rising exploitation, tax burdens, and interference in tribal autonomy. The revolt, known as the "Paralkot Vidroh," was among the earliest tribal uprisings in India against British rule.
Martyrdom
On 20 January 1825, Gendsingh was captured and executed by hanging at the order of Captain Pebe in Sitram, Kanker. His sacrifice is remembered as a symbol of tribal resistance and courage.
Legacy
Veer Gendsingh is honored as a martyr in Chhattisgarh, and his statue stands as a tribute to his bravery and leadership. Efforts have been made to recognize his contributions in regional history and tribal pride.
