Bihar Prant Hul Jharkhand

From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

The Bihar Prant Hul Jharkhand was a Jharkhandi political party in the Indian state of Bihar. The party emerged from a split in the Jharkhand Party[1] and was founded on December 28, 1968.[2][3] The party was based among non-Christian Adivasis in the Santhal Parganas.[4] The party was named after the 1855 Santhal rebellion, commonly known as 'Hul'.[2]

The party contested the 1969 Bihar Legislative Assembly election, fielding 14 candidates whom together mustered 56,506 votes (0.38% of all votes cast in the state). 5 candidates of the party were elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly.[5]

In 1972 the party was divided into two - the Progressive Hul Jharkhand Party and the Rajya Hul Jharkhand Party.[6][7]
