Summary:

"The book presents a new interpretation of the Santal Rebellion, the Hul 1855-1856, drawing on the colonial sources as well as Santal memories. It offers a critique of postcolonial approaches that overlook specifically tribal perspectives and see the Hul as a class-based peasant rebellion"-- Provided by publisher.
