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:

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. After the Santhal Hul of 1855–56 the Company did carve out the Santhal Parganas as a distinct scheduled tract (Act XXXVII of 1855), with a simpler administration meant to keep the hills apart from ordinary Bengal regulation districts. Statement 1 is therefore true, but it is incomplete as a full answer because the land-alienation bar in statement 2 was also imposed. This option is not the key.

2. B

   2 only

   (b) 2 only. The post-revolt settlement made it illegal for a Santhal to transfer land to a non-Santhal, so that diku moneylenders and zamindars could not again swallow occupancy. Statement 2 is correct, yet the territorial creation in statement 1 is equally part of the same package. This option is not the key.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   (c) Both 1 and 2. The 1855 Act created the Santhal Parganas and a special tenancy regime followed, under which a Santhal could not lawfully alienate land to a non-Santhal. Both measures were colonial responses to the Hul: separate geography plus a legal fence around tribal land. This option is the official key.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   (d) Neither 1 nor 2. Both listed measures were taken. Treating them as inventions would erase the actual 1855 settlement. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) Both 1 and 2. The Santhal uprising of 1855–56 was followed by a distinct Santhal Parganas district and by a ban on transfer of Santhal land to non-Santhals. Statement 1 records the territorial device; statement 2 records the tenancy fence against diku alienation. Neither measure stood alone. Options that pick only one statement or reject both miss that paired settlement. The WRAP copy therefore follows (c).
