Santhal Revolt Leaders Identified

The question asks to identify the leaders of the Santhal Revolt, a significant tribal uprising that occurred in India during 1855-56.

Historical Context

The Santhal Revolt was a response to the oppressive policies and economic exploitation faced by the Santhal tribal community under British rule and intermediaries (like zamindars and moneylenders).

Identifying the Leaders

The primary leaders who organized and led the Santhal community during the 1855-56 Santhal Revolt were:

• Sidhu Murmu
• Kanhu Murmu

These brothers mobilized the Santhal people against injustice.

Analyzing Other Options

• Nilamber and Pitamber: Leaders of the Kharwar revolt (1870s).
• Alha and Udal: Legendary warrior brothers from Bundelkhand, not associated with the Santhal Revolt.
• Gora and Badal: Figures associated with the history of Rajasthan, not this revolt.

Therefore, Sidhu and Kanhu are correctly identified as the leaders of the Santhal Revolt in 1855-56.
