The Santhal Hool (Rebellion) was a major tribal uprising led by Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu against British rule and the exploitative zamindari system.
The rebellion occurred in 1855–56 in present-day Jharkhand and parts of Bengal (Purulia, Birbhum, Bankura), triggered by the Permanent Land Settlement of 1793 which dispossessed Santhals of their ancestral land.
The Santhals declared independence, formed their own armies, used guerrilla tactics, and disrupted railway and postal lines before being crushed by the British presidency armies.
