Detailed Solution

The Santhal rebellion was also known as Santhal Hul. It took place in the present-day states of Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal from 1855 until 1856, when the British defeated the movement. The British and the Zamindars claimed ownership of the indigenous Santhal land when the Zamindari system was implemented in the Bengal presidency. Landlords brutally abused the Santhals by charging enormous interest rates (sometimes as high as 500%), ensuring that the tribal members would never be able to pay back their loans. They were forced to give over their land and become slave labourers. They had to put up with extortion, forced property confiscation, abuse, violence, and fraud in commercial transactions.
