The Story of the Santal: With an Account of the Santal Rebellion

The Story of the Santal: With an Account of the Santal Rebellion by James Merry Macphail provides an in-depth exploration of the Santal people, focusing on their history, culture, and the 1855-1856 Santal Rebellion against British rule. Macphail examines the causes of the uprising, including exploitation by colonial authorities and landlords, and details the key events of the rebellion, led by the Santal leaders. The work sheds light on the socio-political challenges faced by the Santals and offers a sympathetic perspective on their struggles for justice and autonomy, contributing to the understanding of indigenous resistance during colonial India.
