💥UPSC 2026, 2027 UAP Mentorship - June Batch Starts

Tribal and peasant movements and revolts were often put down in history as spontaneous movements, when uneducated, apolitical groups of people break forth in anger and not as conscious decision makers. But, the Santhals of the Rajmahal Hills did not revolt on a whim. Comment. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • Give a brief context about the Santhal and their uprising against ‘Dhikus’.
  • In the body, mention how many peasant and tribal revolts and rebellions were spontaneous, disorganized and reactionary. Give examples. In the next part, write about the Santhal Rebellion. Mention the causes for the outbreak of the rebellion in brief. In detail, write about how the Santhal Rebellion differed from others. In the nature of the movement – nature of grievances, oppression on the Santhals, Leadership, full fledged conflict, capture of land by Santhals and outcomes etc.
  • Conclude by writing about the legacy of the Santhal Hool.

      Hi Divya
      Good intro.
      Leave spaces between the lines.
      Substantiate the causes in 1-2 lines each, avoid bullet points.
      After the causes, in detail, write about how the Santhal Rebellion differed from others. In the nature of the movement – nature of grievances, oppression on the Santhals, Leadership, full fledged conflict, capture of land by Santhals and outcomes etc.
      Conclude briefly.
      Work more on content.
      Work hard, you will succeed.

      Hi Deepika
      Good intro.
      Avoid scribbling while writing. For example you did while writing ‘features’.
      Rest of the answer is well written.
      You write quite crisp answers, to the point , keep it .
      Use subheadings.
      Good structure.
