\nThe British demarcated the Damin-i-koh (meaning ‘skirt of the hills’) in the Rajmahal Hills area (present-day Jharkhand) specifically for settling Santhals. This was part of a strategy starting in the 1830s to expand settled agriculture, control the hill tribes, and increase revenue collection. The demarcation and settlement process for Damin-i-koh began around 1832.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Damin-i-koh was a special territory created by the British in the Rajmahal Hills.
\n– It was intended for the settlement of Santhals and the promotion of settled agriculture.
\n– The policy led to the Santhal Rebellion in 1855-56 due to exploitation by zamindars and moneylenders who infiltrated the area.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe creation of Damin-i-koh involved clearing forests and bringing land under cultivation. The Santhals were encouraged to settle there with favourable initial terms, but gradually, the influx of outsiders and oppressive policies led to their revolt.
