Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1855 - 56 AD

The correct answer is 1855 - 56 AD.

  • Santhal uprising was a rebellion of Santhal tribes settled in Rajmahal Hills in Bihar (Now in Jharkhand)against British and zamindars
  • Santhal uprising was led by Siddhu and Kanhu.
  • Santhal uprising took place during 1855-56.
  • The tyrannical British revenue system, usury practices, and the zamindari system in India made Santhal peoples annoyed, and two Santhal brothers Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu organized 10,000 Santhals and proclaimed a rebellion against the British.
  • The Santhals are the largest tribal group in India found in Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha.

  • Britishers invited the Santhals to come and settle in Jharkhand promising land and economic amenities.
  • Thus Santhals from different states came to settle in today's Jharkhand.
  • Later zamindars dominated these areas as they collected taxes and lent money at very high rates which the people could not generally pay and their lands were forcibly taken.
  • This became the roots of the Santhal rebellion.
  • In a fierce encounter, Santhals were defeated as they were fighting with bows and arrows while Britishers had modern weapons.
  • Sidhu was caught in August 1855 and was hanged on a banyan tree at a place called Panchkathia
