Economic & Political WeeklySummary: Conventional history writing identifies historically “significant” events and weaves them into a coherent chronology. This process lends a sense of fixity to the events—both temporal and spatial. This conventional rendering of the past is interrogated by looking at the everyday “micro-realities” of the Santal past. The picture that emerges with this exercise is that of a past where historical processes and events appear incomplete, indefinite, and tentative. In light of this tentativeness of the Santal past, the paper relooks at the 1855 anti-colonial rebellion by Santals (Hul) and the question of Adivasi conceptualisations of “home” and relationship to land. – Reproduced
