Tilka Manjhi Revolt was against British policy of acquisition of land of the native of Jharkhand, against the dive and rule policy by providing security to the local residents and against the suppression policy of Cleveland.

Around 1770 in Santhal region was adversely affected by drought and people were dying due to hunger.  The hunger and scarcity of food lead to picketing and other anti-social activities in the region. The government instead of providing security and relief started exploiting and suppressing Santhal. Tilka came out strongly revolted against the government. He resisted against prevailing government policies at Vancharijoor near Bhagalpur. This region was under the military governance under Warren Hastings.

In response of Tilka Manjhi reovolt, Hastings sent 800 British Solders under the command of Captain Brook to suppress the Manjhi revolt.  Books kept suppressing the santhals for next two years, followed by James Brown and then Cleveland came as superintendent of Rajmahal region to surpress the voice of Santhals.

Clive used divide and rule policy and in short spam of just nine months he managed bring 40 local tribes under his umbrella.  These locals were basically local leaders and British did not asked for any revenue from them. Tilka Manjhi resisted against his policy and said policy should be similar for everyone. Tilka got immense support from local people over this.

Tilka Manjhi also popularly kwown as “Jabra Paharia”. He made this movement a mass movement and circulated message written on leaf of Sal that “We must be united “.

Year 1784 is very important, Tilka on January 13 aimed August Cleveland with his arrow and took his life. Tilka Manjhi was not caught by the British at that moment and he managed to get disappear in the forest and then after started guerilla war against British. In 1785, he was caught by the British and was publically on the Banyan tree hanged at Bhagalpur. With this heroic end Tilka Manhi Revolt ( 1772- 1780 ) came to an end.
