After the Santhal Uprising subsided, what was/were the measure/measures taken by the colonial government ?
1. The territories called ‘Santhal Paraganas’ were created.
2. It became illegal for a Santhal to transfer land to a non-Santhal.
Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Correct Option: (c) Both 1 and 2

Following the brutal suppression of the Santhal Uprising (1855-56), the colonial government enacted the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act and created a separate administrative unit called the 'Santhal Parganas'. To protect the tribal population from exploitation by non-tribal moneylenders and outsiders (Dikus), it was made strictly illegal for any Santhal to transfer their land to a non-Santhal. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
