Attack by 600 Santhals upon a party of 50 Sepoys, 40th Regiment Native Infantry, 1856. Account from a British officer: On one occasion...we were surrounded by about 600 Santhals, who, shouting and screaming, and beating drums, seemed to spring out of the ground, so sudden was their appearance. They advanced, forming nearly a complete circle round our small band, who, with the utmost coolness, under the orders of their Adjutant - when the rebels had approached to within sixty yards, and when the arrows were failing thick amongst the Sepoys - commenced independent file-firing, killing and wounding a number of the rebels before they dispersed'. The Santhal rebellion took place in present-day Jharkhand and West Bengal, and was an uprising by the Santhal people against both the British East India Company and the zamindari system. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
