The Santhal Rebellion , also known as the Santhal Hool, was a rebellion in present-day Jharkhand against the East India Company (EIC) and zamindari system by the Santals. It started on 30 June 1855, and on 10 November 1855, martial law was proclaimed by the East India Company which lasted until 3 January 1856, when martial law was suspended and the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the presidency armies.
The rebellion was led by the four sibling brothers, Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand and Bhairav, who was the main leader of the Santhal Tribe, and their two sisters Phoolo and Jhano, who were killed in the cause.
