Dhalbhumargh is a village in the Dhalbhumgarh CD block in the Ghatshila subdivision of the East Singhbhum District in the Indian state of Jharkhand.
Dhalbhum was first written about when the British Army attacked the Dhalbhum and Ghatsila region in 1767 jointly with Raja of Midnapore, after a previous abortive attempt in 1765. The campaign against Dhalbhum was led by John Fergusson, who launched an attack on Ghatsila from Jambuni, defeating the local king and destroying Narsingarh Fort. The King was taken captive and deported to Midnapur. His nephew Jagannath Dhal was placed on the throne on the condition that he would pay a yearly sum of Rs 55,000 to the British Government. Jagannath found it tough to cope with the demand, and was consequently replaced by Baikuntha Dhal. This did not deter Jagannath, who attacked Baikuntha with the help of the ruler of Jhargram and the zamindarofGhatsila, Raja Jagannath Singh. Finally, he was reinstated on the condition that during the first year of his reign, he would pay a tax of Rs 2000, in the second year Rs 3000 and in the third year Rs 4000. In 1800, rent of Rs 4, 267 was fixed, which was to be paid by the Kingdom. In 1845 the region was incorporated into the Singhbhum District. Following this, in accordance with 1848 Regulation Act, Singhbhum District was converted into a non-regulation district under the Governor of Bengal.[1][2]
In 1766, Raja Jagannath Singh, a zamindar of Dampara of Ghatsila in Dhalbhum, revolted against the enhanced revenue taxes of the British East India Company. This revolt is well known as Chuar revolt, the first revolt against British East India CompanyinBengal Presidency.[3][4]
