Safahod Movement (1870)
Causes and Nature of Rebellion:
- The credit for giving rise to this rebellion goes to Lal Hembram alias Lal Baba.
- He found that the biggest reason for the failure of the Santhal rebellion was the lack of religious spirit and self-confidence among the people. So he emphasized the force of character.
- He gave the mantra of 'Ram-Naam' to the Safahod (Safahor) agitators. He used to give the white signals to the Santhals. They used to wear Janeu and used to stop the consumption of meat and liquor.
- Being frightened, the British banned the making of Tulsi Chaura in the courtyard and chanting Ram-Naam.
- Lal Baba had formed the 'Deshoddharak Dal' in Santhal Parganas on the lines of Azad Hind Fauj.
- His associates were Paika Murmu, Pagan Marandi, Bhatu Soren, and Rasik Lal Soren.
