    1 UNIT 3 RESISTANCE AND REVOLUTIONS AGAINST FOREIGN POWERS Contents 3.0 Objectives 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Pacification of the Paharias 3.3 Santal Revolt (1781-84) 3.4 Kol Insurrection 3.5 British Rule (1834 Onwards) and Tribals 3.6 Tribal Movements 3.7 Let Us Sum Up 3.8 Further Readings and References 3.0 OBEJCTIVES The unit tries to capture the historical account of tribal resistance and revolutions against the non-tribal foreign powers. The case of tribals of Chotanagpur and Santals are taken as a concrete expressions of such resistance and revolutions against such powers. It would be applied to other tribals in their own concrete specific situations. 3.1 INTRODUCTION The tribals of Chotanagpur and Santal Pargana in Jharkhand today have a long history of resistance and revolt against the British administration and its non-tribal collaborators, such as, jagirdars (service tenure holders), thikadars (permanent or temporary land lease holders), zamindars (persons recognized as possessing proprietary rights over land under the British Law), etc. This history of pre-Independence India (1947) is well documented and probably represents by far the best tribal resistance and revolutions against foreign powers that have taken place in different parts of the country in the past. Although Chotanagpur was ceded to the British East India Company (EIC) in 1765, the first entry of the British rulers into this region took place in 1772 when Dripnath Shahi was the ruler of the region. He was in the subordinate position under the EIC and consequently handed over the region into its hands in the same year.

  • Unit 3 Tribal Religion/S Vis-À-Vis Impact of Other Religions
    1 UNIT 3 TRIBAL RELIGION/S VIS-À-VIS IMPACT OF OTHER RELIGIONS Contents 3.0 Objectives 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Contact with other Religions 3.3 Bhagat Movements among the Uraons 3.4 The Kherwar (Kharwar) Movement 3.5 Christian Movements 3.6 Birsa Movement 3.7 Tana Bhagat Movement 3.8 The Haribaba Movement in Singhbhum 3.9 Let us Sum up 3.10 Key Words 3.11 Further Readings and References 3.0 OBJECTIVES The unit aims at giving the account of tribal religions and their encounter with foreign religions. The relationship is very well known from the different tribal movements that have characterized themselves as defenders of tribal religions or as speaking for the adaptability and accommodation. 3.1 INTRODUCTION Religious leaders, who have been acknowledged as genuine prophets in the Judaeo-Christian traditions, have always claimed to speak in the name of God. They were His spokesmen, and their vocation has an origin from a call of God Himself rather than from their fancy or choice. Through several difficult, critical periods of Jewish history, the prophets claimed to be the authentic interpreters of the voice of God, the revealers of His plan, and the guardians and guarantors of the divine promise to God’s chosen People. In the present study too the religious leaders initiating them have claimed to be inspired either by God or some other supernatural power. The messages they communicated to their followers, they maintained, were from God or spirits, and that they were merely their mouthpieces. Hence, we may be permitted to call these leaders ‘prophets’.
