Question

Why did Santhals rebel against the Zamindars, moneylenders and the Britishers ? Explain.

Answer 1

1. Santhals settled in the Danim-i-Koh region.
2. When they were unable to repay the money, moneylenders took possession of their land and demanded exorbitant interest rates.
3. They were being heavily taxed by the state. Additionally, the zamindars had started to exert more control over the Damin region.
4. Thus, the Santhals rose up in rebellion against the state, moneylenders, and zamindars' exploitation.
