Charles Cornwallis (1738-1805) was the commander of the British forces during the American War of Independence and the Governor General of Bengal when the Permanent Settlement was introduced there in 1793.

When the Permanent Settlement was imposed, Tejchand was the Raja of Burdwan. Subsequently under Mehtab Chand the estate prospered. Mehtab Chand helped the British during the Santhal rebellion and the 1857 revolt.

Francis Buchanan was a physician who came to India and served in the Bengal Medical Service (from 1794 to 1815). For a few years, he was surgeon to the Governor-General of India, Lord Wellesley. During his stay in Calcutta (present-day Kolkata), he organized a zoo that became the Calcutta Alipore Zoo; he was also in charge of the Botanical Gardens for a short period. At the request of the Government of Bengal, he undertook detailed surveys of the areas under the jurisdiction of the British East India Company.

Sidhu Manjhi was the leader of the Santhal rebellion. The Santhal Rebellion, also known as the Santhal Hool or Santhal Revolt, was a significant tribal uprising that took place in India during the mid-19th century. Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu, commonly known as the Murmu brothers, were the leaders of the Santhal Rebellion, also known as the Santhal Hool.
