Other Tribal Revolts — Key Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
Regulation XXXVII of 1855 (Santhal Parganas)	1855	Enacted immediately after the Santhal Rebellion, this regulation created the Santhal Parganas district as a non-regulation area, removing it from the general laws of British India. It aimed to provide a separate administration for the Santhals.	Led to the establishment of a distinct administrative and legal framework for Santhal Parganas, with a focus on protecting tribal land rights and customary laws, which was further solidified by the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act of 1876.
Bengal Regulation XIII of 1833 (South-Western Frontier Agency)	1833	Following the Kol Uprising, this regulation established the South-Western Frontier Agency, placing the disturbed areas of Chotanagpur under the direct control of a British agent, outside the jurisdiction of regular courts and laws.	Attempted to pacify the region by isolating it administratively and providing a more tailored governance structure, but did not fully resolve the underlying issues of land alienation and exploitation, leading to continued unrest.
Indian Forest Act, 1878	1878	This act classified forests into reserved, protected, and village forests, severely restricting tribal access and traditional rights over forest resources. It criminalized many traditional tribal practices like shifting cultivation and collection of minor forest produce.	While not an 'amendment' in response to a specific revolt, this act was a major cause of many forest-centric tribal revolts (e.g., Rampa, Koya) as it directly attacked tribal livelihoods and cultural practices, leading to widespread resentment and resistance.
