Question:

Who was the leader of Santhal Rebellion?

Options:

Sidhu Manjhi

Shah Mal

Umaji Raje

Gunoo

Correct Answer:

Sidhu Manjhi

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Sidhu Manjhi

Sidhu Manjhi, along with his brother Kanhu Murmu, was a prominent leader of the Santhal Rebellion, which took place in the mid-19th century in India. The Santhal Rebellion, also known as the Santhal Hul, was an important tribal uprising against the British colonial authorities and local landlords.

Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu played a key role in leading the Santhal tribes in their resistance against oppressive British policies and economic exploitation.

While the rebellion involved many Santhal leaders and communities, Sidhu Murmu's name is particularly associated with the leadership of this movement, making him a significant figure in the Santhal Rebellion.

So, the correct option is [1].
