Key Points

- Santhal Revolt was led by Kanhu and Sidhu.
- The Santhal revolt, often referred to as the Sonthal uprising or the Santhal Hool, was an uprising by the Santhal people in what are now Jharkhand and West Bengal, Eastern India, against the British East India Company (BEIC) and the zamindari system.
- The East India Company declared martial law on November 10, 1855, which lasted until January 3, 1856, when it was suspended and the revolt was finally put down by the Presidency soldiers.
- It began on June 30, 1855. The four brothers who made up the insurrection were Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand, and Bhairav.
Additional Information
- The British East India Company's (BEIC) revenue system, usury practises, and the zamindari system in India's tribal region, then known as the Bengal Presidency, were all put a stop to as a result of the Santhals' uprising.
- It was a revolt against the oppression of colonial rule, which was upheld by the police, the courts, and the local zamindars under the British East India Company's legal system. A distorted revenue structure served as the vehicle for this persecution.
