Légende

The Santhal Rebel, Singra, 1856. '...the regular troops arrived; they soon came into collision with the rebels, and of course wherever they met them the rebels were dispersed with great loss of life - being only armed with battle-axes, swords, and bows and arrows...The portrait of Singra, one of the supposed murderers of Mrs. Thomas and Miss Pell, presents a good type of the Santhal physiognomy in general'. The Santhal rebellion took place in present-day Jharkhand and West Bengal, and was an uprising by the Santhal people against both the British East India Company and the zamindari system. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
