A Jungle Satyagraha was held in Sihawa in 1922 under the leadership of Shyam Lal Som, where Babu Chotelal Srivastava gave full support. When the Jungle Satyagraha was decided to be in Bandwagon near Rudri in 1930, Babu Sahib played an active role in it. He was then arrested and sent to jail where he was tortured, bringing additional attention to the Satyagrahis. This drew [[Mahatma Gandhi]] to join the independence movement. In 1933, Gandhi, on his second visit to Chhattisgarh, went to [[Dhamtari|Tamarind]]. There, he praised the leadership of Babu Chhote Lal. In the year 1937, Srivastava was elected the President of Dhamtari Municipality Corporation. Babu Sahib also had an active role in the [[Quit India Movement]] of 1942. Babu Chotelal Srivastava died on 18 July 1976 in Kandel, an area of great pilgrimage of the [[Indian independence movement]].{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B09MYXSK1L/ref=dbs_a_w_dp_b09myxsk1l|title=Johar Gandhi|publisher=Meer Publication|year=2021|isbn=979-8778794061|location=India|pages=43-45|language=English}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Pioneer|first=The|title=Madamsilli dam named after freedom fighter Babu Chhotelal|url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2019/state-editions/madamsilli-dam-named-after-freedom-fighter-babu-chhotelal.html|access-date=2021-05-19|website=The Pioneer|language=en}}</ref><br />
