In the heart of the Damin-i-koh forests, Sido and Kanhu, simple brothers from
a large Murmu clan, would become the epicentre of an electrifying struggle for freedom. As the
Murmu siblings—Sido, Kanhu, Chand, Bhairab, Phulo and Jano—led the unprecedented uprising
against the British Empire, they inspired 50,000 Santhals to be a part of this revolution. But the cost of their daring defiance would be steep: 10,000 lives lost, thousands
incarcerated and their families destroyed.
