The British initially underestimated the rebellion but later used military force to quash it, imposing martial law in affected districts and capturing key leaders, including Sidhu and Kanhu. After the rebellion was quelled, the British administration created a new district, the Santhal Parganas, and instituted administrative reforms that granted the Santhal greater autonomy and safeguards against exploitation, to address the uprising’s causes.
