Hul Divas, also known as the Santhal Rebellion Anniversary, is observed in the Indian state of Jharkhand every year on June 30. This day commemorates the 1855 Santhal rebellion against the British Raj, honoring the memory of those killed during the uprising, particularly its leaders, Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu. The rebellion arose from the exploitation faced by the Santhal tribe due to corrupt money lending practices enforced by the British East India Company and local zamindars. On this day, the Santhal community reflects on their history and the struggle for justice, acknowledging the significant impact of the rebellion on colonial policies. Although not a full-fledged public holiday, Hul Divas holds special status in Jharkhand, where various activities may take place to remember the sacrifices made during this early freedom movement.
