Serious attempts have been made in the national context of the historical analysis of the Revolt of 1857. There have also been serious attempts to understand the regional nature of the rebellion. The effort of scholars like Dr. Kalikikar Dutt on the freedom movement in Bihar is famous. Scholars like Dr. Rameshchandra Majumdar have worked on the national movement in India in several volumes and in this sequence have tried to include the regional nature of the national movement including 1857. In the context of the rebellion of 1857 in Chhotanagpur, there is a tendency to admire and be self-obsessed by seeing the role of revolution heroes like Babu Kunwar Singh, Vishwanath Shahi, Pandey Ganpat Rai, Nilambar of Palamu, Tikait Umrao Singh and Shashekh Bhikhari in a historical context, both in general and in particular is prevalent. But from the point of view of self-criticism, there is often no tendency to review the role of those villains of the revolution, whose selfish pro-British acts made the rebellion unsuccessful and tightened the nose of the British rule. In the present form, a small attempt has been made to examine the extent of the feudal forces supporting the British interests present in the social structure of the then Chhotanagpur. If it is assumed that there was no outline of Indian nationalism in the period of 1857. Yet it cannot be denied that British authority was imposed on Indian political groups from outside and was not universally accepted. Secondly, the British authority proved to nurture British interests and increase the problems of the local people in an unexpected way. On the other hand, the political classes and groups involved in the rebellion were unknowingly taking sides of wider interests such as the end of the misrule of the British power, solution of the problems imposed by the British power, the plight of the common people. Although the rebel groups also had a lot of feudal elements, but they were people-oriented, comprehensive and forward-looking in comparison to the British supporters.
