EXPLANATION:

Permanent Settlement Act was passed in Bengal in 1793. According to Permanent Settlement, the zamindar was not a landowner in the village, but a revenue Collector of the state.

The Fifth Report was submitted to the British Parliament in 1813.

The Santhals were given land and persuaded to settle in the foothills of Rajmahal. By 1832 a large area of land was demarcated as Damin-i-Koh. This was declared to be the land of the Santhals. They were to live within it, practise plough agriculture, and become settled peasants. The land grant to the Santhals stipulated that at least one-tenth of the area was to be cleared and cultivated within the first ten years.

The Santhal Rebellion occurred in 1855-56 in the Chotanagpur Plateau and Santhal Parganas of Bihar and Bengal. The Santhals, a tribal community, rebelled against oppressive land revenue policies, illegal land acquisitions, and other exploitative practices. It was one of the significant tribal uprisings against British rule in India.

When the revolt spread in the Deccan, the Government of Bombay was initially unwilling to see it as anything serious. But the Government of India, worried by the memory of 1857, pressurised the Government of Bombay to set up a commission of enquiry to investigate into the causes of the riots. The commission produced a report that was presented to the British Parliament in 1878. This report, referred to as the Deccan Riots Report, provides historians with a range of sources for the study of the riot. The commission held enquiries in the districts where the riots spread, recorded statements of ryots, sahukars and eyewitnesses, compiled statistical data on revenue rates, prices and interest rates in different regions, and collated the reports sent by district collectors.
