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.

Charles Cornwallis was the commander of British forces during the American War Of Independence and the Governor General of Bengal when the Permanent Settlement was introduced in 1793.

Francis Buchanan was a physician who came to India and served in the Bengal Medical Service. For a few years, he was a surgeon to the Governor-General of India, Lord Wellesley.

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.
