Revolt of 1857. Demarcation of Damin-i-Koh in 1832. Crossing of Ganjuria Pahar by Buchanan in 1810. Santhal Revolt (1855-56) |
Santhal Revolt (1855-56) |
The correct answer is Option 4 - Santhal Revolt (1855-56) It was after the Santhal Revolt (1855-56) that the Santhal Pargana was created, carving out 5,500 square miles from the districts of Bhagalpur and Birbhum. The colonial state hoped that by creating a new territory for the Santhals and imposing some special laws within it, the Santhals could be conciliated. |
