dzuzddffgfgggggggggghghh

The following points may help you:

a. Santhal revolt was against the oppressive British policies.

b. The British through forest laws, restricted grazing , banned entry of villagers and tribes to reserved forests. It lead to loss of customary rights

c. The colonial collbarators purchased goods, particularly silk made by santhals at a very low cost. They further sold the products at higher prices, making huge amount of profits.

d. In this way the traders indulged in massive exploitation of the tribals.

e. We may give example of silk, as to how santhal tribes were paid meagerly while the traders prospered.

f. Such was the problem that Santhal tribal groups faced with the traders and East India company, who considered them as their enemies.

g. Likewise, moneylenders offered loans to tribals to meet their requirement for cash to produce goods , but they charged high rate interest from them. Thus, tribals faced the problem of repaying the loans and were burdened with huge debts. This became the cause for their terrible plight and misery.

TheSanthal rebellion(sometimes referred to as theSonthal rebellion), commonly known asSanthal Hool, was a native rebellion in present-dayJharkhand, in easternIndiaagainst both the British colonial authority andzamindari systemby theSanthalpeople. 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 theBritish. The rebellion was led by the four Murmu Brothers -Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand and Bhairav

Rebellion,uprising, orinsurrectionis a refusal of obedience or order.[1]It refers to the open resistance against the orders of an establishedauthority.

A rebellion originates from a sentiment of indignation and disapproval of a situation and then manifests itself by the refusal to submit or to obey the authority responsible for this situation. Rebellion can be individual or collective,peaceful(civil disobedience,civil resistance, andnonviolent resistance) orviolent(terrorism,sabotageandguerrilla warfare.)

In political terms, rebellion and revolt are often distinguished by their different aims. If rebellion generally seeks to evade and/or gain concessions from an oppressive power, a revolt seeks to overthrow and destroy that power, as well as its accompanying laws. The goal of rebellion is resistance while arevoltseeks a revolution.[citation needed]As power shifts relative to the external adversary, or power shifts within a mixedcoalition, or positions harden or soften on either side, an insurrection may seesaw between the two forms.
