Objective of the Santhal Rebellion:

• Freedom from the oppressive ‘Dikus’: The main objective of the Santhal rebellion was to free the Santhal region from the exploitation of the British, moneylenders and other outsiders. These outsiders were called ‘Dikus’.
• Protection of land rights: The Santhals had rights over their land, which was being usurped by outsiders. One of the major reasons for the rebellion was that the Santhals wanted to save their land.

• Hul Diwas: Hul Diwas is celebrated every year on 30 June in Jharkhand to remember the sacrifice of Sidhu-Kanhu.
• Inspiration for Santhals: Sidhu Murmu and his companions instilled a sense of courage, bravery and valour in the Santhals. They are a source of inspiration for the Santhals even today.

Values:

• Courage: They showed the courage to fight against tyranny.
• Valour: They protected their community without caring for their lives.
• Valour: They fought for their motherland.
