Santhal insurrection broke out in the year ............................
Answer: D
The Santhal insurrection (the Hul) broke out in 1855.
Led by the brothers Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu, the Santhals of the Rajmahal hills (Damin-i-koh) rose in June 1855 against moneylenders, zamindars and the colonial authorities who had taken their land and trapped them in debt. The revolt was suppressed in 1856 and led to the creation of the Santhal Parganas district.
1857 is the year of the great revolt in northern India and is the usual trap; 1858 and 1859 are later still.
