Solution (By Examveda Team)
Tilka Manjhi was the first adivasi leader to bring the santhals together and organise a revolt against the British. Tilka and his supporters attacked British official Augustus Cleveland in 1784, killing him. Tilka was executed by the British on 13th January 1785 in Bhagalpur. Tilka Manjhi's activities might be considered as the first serious attempt by indigenous peoples to resist British control.Related Questions on Jharkhand
