The Sonthal Parganas district, also known as Santal Parganas district, was created as a separate administrative division following the Santal uprising of 1855-56, which exposed the oppression faced by the Santals and prompted British reforms. The establishment of the district was formalized under the Sonthal Parganas Act, Act 37 of 1855. History Background The Santals originally inhabited the region from Hazaribagh to Medinipur, farming along the Subarnarekha River. Following the 1770 Bengal famine, the demand for agricultural land prompted their migration. In 1832, the British designated Damin-i-koh for settlement, initially offering it to the Paharia tribe, who refused.

James Pontet was assigned in 1837 to manage Damin-i-koh for revenue generation, but tensions grew as the Santals resisted outsiders, including exploitative moneyle ...
