4. The Santals, as you know, are freedom-loving people. In those days they lived a free life without any outside control. They cleared the forests, prepared fields, and grew different kinds of crops. The king had little control over them. Once or twice a year, they had to help the king when there was a war. But after the Plassey battle, the British became the masters of Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. The king of Bhagalpur came under the control of the British. The British wanted to collect more money. They asked the king of Bhagalpuror for more money. The king in turn appointed outsiders to collect rent from the tribals. Some tribal villages were given ‘pattas’ by some landlords. The landlords asked the Santals to pay more taxes and often took away their property and lands.
5. Tilka did not like this. He asked the Santals not to pay taxes. The Santals became a real problem for the Government. To bring the Santals under control, a new collector was appointed in Bhagalpur. His name was Cleaveland. In different ways, he tried to bring the Santals under control. He appointed soldiers from other tribes to fight against the Santals. Tilka could not bear this. He was looking for a chance to kill Cleaveland.
