Explanation:

The Santhal Rebellion was the most serious challenge faced by the English East India Company in the first century of its rule.
Operations by landlords and money lenders, accompanied by a huge increase in revenue burden, had caused enough disaffection among the tribal peasants. Over and above this, the European railway contractors often demanded forced labor. Some of the tribal people also migrated elsewhere, something which the Santhals looked upon as a clear sign of the disintegration of the tribal community.
It was against this background of discontent that the hostility against the outsiders erupted. On June, 1855 Sidhu and Kanu, the two brothers, gave a call of rebellion. The rebellious Santhals assembled at Bhagna Dihi and rose in arms against the inequities of the British revenue system.They were ultimately suppressed in 1856 (before the 1857 revolt, not after the partition of Bengal, 1905)
