Dhalbhum was first mentioned in 1767, when the British Army assaulted the Dhalbhum and Ghatsila region with the Raja of Midnapore, following an unsuccessful attempt in 1765. During this British attack in 1767, the British force took Dhalbhum fort.

Captain Camac and his troops arrived in Palamu in 1771. Chiranjit Rai and Jainath Singh were the rulers of the fort during the time. When Camac arrived in Palamu, they both managed to flee to Ramgarh, where the British captured the fort. On the 19^th of February 1771, the patna council ordered camac to take position on palamu and declare gopal rai as the ruler in exchange for revenue. The council was pleased with camac’s success against palamu and honoured and rewarded him along with the others who had assisted the British army during the expedition.

Rajmahal was the capital of Shuja during the Mugal period, and Dr. Gabriel Boughton was the British East India Company’s envoy. In 1763, Major Adams and his company attacked Nawab Mir Qasim’s property and took possession of the Rajmahal district. This shows that the British had finished their conquest of Rajmahal before gaining control of Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha’s diwani (tax administration).

In 1800, the Chero tribe of Palamu revolted, led by Bhukhan Singh, against exorbitant taxation and the re-acquisition of sub-dependent pattas.

The Moplah revolt (riots) took place in the Madras Presidency’s southern Malabar district between August 1921 and August 1922.

Kol Uprising (revolt) (1831-1832) was Jharkhand’s first well-organized and widespread tribal revolt against zamindars, contractors, moneylenders, non-tribal merchants, and king’s agents’ repressive administrative policies. Munda, ho, oraon, kharwar, and chero were the main tribes involved in the insurrection.

The Kol Uprising (revolt) (1831-1832) was Jharkhand’s first well-organized and widespread tribal revolt. Except for hazaribagh, which was unaffected by the rebellion, the movement extended over chhota nagpur khas, palamu, singhbhum and manbhum.
