Shiv Prasad Singh ruled the Palamu land on behalf of the minor ‘Rajah’ Churaman Rai.

In 1831, the Kol tribesmen of Chhota Nagpur, who were upset over exploitation by agents of the East India Company (EIC), rose in revolt against the EIC. The rebel kols were under the leadership of Buddhu Bhagat, Joa Bhagat, Bindrai Manki, Madara Mahato, Desai Munda and others.

In 1817, chero revolted against British by ensuring tribal cooperation, but this too was suppressed. This rebellion was suppressed by Colonel M. S. Jones.

The Tamar Revolt started in 1782 against the exploitation of the landlords by the Oraon tribe of Chota Nagpur, which lasted till 1794.

The credit for giving rise to Safahod movement goes to Lal Hembrom alias Lal Baba in 1870.

The Santhal uprising lasted about a year and expanded to the Bankura, Hazaribagh, and Birbhum regions in 1856. The British forces surrounded the major leaders and tribals on all sides, backed up by the local zamindars and the ruler of Ramgarh.

The Tana Bhagat Movement, which began in 1914 in the Chota Nagpur area of British India, was a protest against local British authorities’ policies and exploitative economic practices by local zamindars, led primarily by Oraon peasants.

The Raja of Parahat organised his Ho tribals to revolt against the occupation of Singhbhum (now in Jharkhand).

The Ho uprising occurred in the region of Singhbhum. It was in response to British and zamindar persecution, and the hos reacted forcefully, refusing to submit to the raja and chiefs of Singhbhum. Hos attacked the subedar and his party on 31^st January 1821. The has, however, were defeated by the British and accepted their subjugation to the British.

Under the leadership of Ganga Narain, the Bhumij uprising (1832 – 1833) began in Birbhum in 1832. The kol and ho tribes backed him up. Ganga Narain’s hungama, or chaos, was another name for this uprising. The monarch of Barabhum, the police, the munsifs, and the dikus were all targeted in this uprising.
