  • The rebellion was led by Sido Murmu, Kanhu Murmu, Chand Murmu, Bhairav Murmu, and the courageous sisters Phulo and Jhano.
  • The movement was launched against British colonial rule, exploitation of tribal communities, and oppressive revenue and land policies.
  • The Santhal Hul became a landmark chapter in India's freedom struggle and symbolized the fight for tribal identity, dignity, rights, and self-respect.
