In ___________ there was a massive revolt in which Santhals began looting and killing the zamindars and moneylenders.
A. 1855-56
B. 1860-61
C. 1850-51
D. 1847-48

Answer 1

Hint: The Santhal uprising began when the Santhals, at last, made a vow to dispatch an assault on the English pioneer rule, zamindars and cash loan authorities. The resistance was driven by the four Murmu Siblings - Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand and Bhairav.

Complete answer: It began on June 30, 1855, and on November 10, 1855, military law was broadcasted which went on until January 3, 1856, when military law was suspended and the development was mercilessly finished by troops faithful to the English.
In July 1855, two Santhal pioneers, Sidhu and Kanhu, assembled a large number of Santhals and announced defiance to the pilgrims. Numerous cash loan authorities and local authorities of the organization were murdered with their crude weapons. However, at long last, the English, furnished with current weapons and strategies, fiercely squashed the revolt. More than 20,000 Santhal clans were slaughtered and a few towns were demolished. The Santhal resistance (in some cases alluded to as the Santhal insubordination), normally known as Santhal Hool, was disobedience in present-day Jharkhand, in eastern India against both the English frontier authority and zamindari framework by the Santhal public.
Therefore, “A” is the right answer.

Note: The revolt was suppressed and the two Santhal pioneers, Sidhu and Kanhu were slaughtered. It had a very destructive impact.
