Read Explanation:
Santhal Rebellion
Period: The rebellion took place between 1855 and 1856.
Region: Centered in the Damin-i-koh region (present-day Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal).
Primary Leaders: The movement was led by two brothers, Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu, along with their brothers Chand and Bhairav.
Causes: The revolt was triggered by the oppressive system of Zamindari, heavy taxation, exploitation by money lenders (Mahajans), and the encroachment on traditional tribal lands by British colonial authorities and their agents.
Nature of Protest: The Santhals demanded the end of colonial rule and the establishment of their own independent state. It was one of the earliest organized anti-colonial uprisings by tribal communities.
British Response: The East India Company utilized heavy military force to suppress the revolt. The rebellion was brutally crushed, leading to the death of thousands of Santhals, including the execution of the main leaders.
Historical Significance: The revolt led to the passing of the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act (1876), which provided special protections for tribal land rights and administration in the region.
Commemoration: The date June 30 is observed annually as Hul Diwas to honor the sacrifices of the tribal martyrs who initiated the struggle against British imperialism.
