Accepted Answer

Following the Santhal rebellion, the British administration sought to pacify the region and prevent future uprisings. As a direct consequence, the Santhal Parganas region was carved out, granting the Santhals a degree of administrative autonomy and distinct territorial identity. Furthermore, to protect the Santhal community from land alienation by outsiders, laws were enacted to restrict the transfer of land from Santhals to non-Santhals, thereby safeguarding their traditional rights and economic base.
