Answer:
They were hired by the Zamindars in the 1780s to clear the foothills of Rajmahal hills which brought them into direct confrontation with the Paharias as the Santhals soon replaced them in the area. The British recognised the Santhals as ideal settlers as compared to the unruly and savage Paharias.
