Answer 2

The tribal residents of Chota Nagpur comprehended Kols, Bhils, Mundas, Hoes, and Oraons. They led a self-sufficient life.

In 1820 the head of Porhat owed loyalty to the British and accepted to repay huge taxes periodically. He maintained the adjoining Kol area as his own to the permission of the British. He progressed on to raise taxes from the Ho section of the Kols which they disliked. A few leaders were killed too.

The Santal Revolt was originally a farmer revolt. People from all businesses and associations such as potters, metalworkers, weavers, and doms participated in. It was precisely anti-British
