Santhal Pargana division, Administrative division in Jharkhand, India
The Santhal Pargana division encompasses six districts across eastern Jharkhand, with Dumka serving as its administrative headquarters and central district.
The British authorities established the Santhal Pargana district in 1855 following the tribal rebellion led by Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu against colonial exploitation.
The division received its name from the Santal tribes who migrated to the region, cleared forest lands, and established agricultural communities in the Damin-i-koh area.
The region incorporates the districts of Deoghar, Dumka, Godda, Pakur, Sahebganj, and Jamtara, with a combined population exceeding 6.9 million inhabitants.
The Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act of 1949 established specific land protection laws for tribal communities, making it the first codified tenancy regulation in the area.
