'Hul! Hul! Hul!' This chilling cry echoed across Santhal land, heralding the dawn of a fierce native resistance against colonial tyranny. 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 oppressive zamindars and 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. Entangled in a treacherous web of deception and betrayal, the brothers and their allies found themselves surrounded by hidden enemies and sinister motives. Yet, with each revelation and loss, their resolve only grew, igniting a fire that threatened the very core of the imperial fiefdom. This pulse-pounding thriller takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the vibrant landscape of nineteenth-century India, blending breakneck action and meticulous historical detail. As the Murmu siblings navigate a land torn between tradition and subjugation, they must overcome unimaginable odds in the pursuit of their fight for their right. The stakes have never been higher, and the cost of victory never more devastating.
