Attack by 600 Santhals upon a party of 50 sepoys, 40th regiment native infantry
The Santhal rebellion (sometimes referred to as the Sonthal rebellion), commonly known as Santhal Hool, was a native rebellion in present-day Jharkhand, in eastern India against both the British colonial authority and zamindari system by the Santhal people. It started on June 30, 1855 and on November 10, 1855 martial law was proclaimed which lasted until January 3, 1856 when martial law was suspended and the movement was brutally ended by troops loyal to the British. The rebellion was led by the four Murmu Brothers - Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand and Bhairav.[1]

Consequences of santhal revolt
1) Since the revolt was against British government which was fully equipped with modern weapons etc so after a few skirmishes only the santhal had to suffer a large number of casualties. The primitive weapons of the santhals were of no match against the musket and canon firepower. Major skirmish took place from July 1855 to Jan 2857 in places like Kahalgaon, Raghunathpur and Munkatora
2) The two celebrated leaders Sidhu and Kanhu were killed.
3) Several kinds of atrocities we're committed by the britishers to crush the rebellion for example -elephants supplied by the Nawab of Murshidaabad were used to demolish Santhal huts. Of the 60,000 old tribesmen who had been mobilised in the rebellion, over 15,000 were killed and ten villages were burnt.
4) SPT ACT, 1949
Although the rebellion was crushed but this rebellion compelled the British government to bend and thus they passed Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act 1949 which protected the ownership of land of tribals but the main objective of Britishers was not the welfare of tribals but to prevent any tribal unrest in future and secure their administration in the region.
