Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\orange{ANSWER}$

Sidhu Murmu had accumulated about ten thousands Santhal to run parallel government against British rule. The basic purpose was to collect taxes by making his own laws. ... The open rebellion caught the British Government in surprise.

Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu were the leaders of the Santhal rebellion (1855–1856), the rebellion in present-day Jharkhand and Bengal (Purulia and Bankura) in eastern India against both the British colonial authority and the corrupt zamindari system.

The actual rebellion was triggered off when their leader, Bir Singh, was summoned to the kachari of the Pakur Raj and mercilessly beaten and confined in chains in presence of his followers. The Santals took oath touching the xal tree, which they took as the symbol of unity and strength.
