Jharkhand assembly election 2024: Nestled in the historical Santhal Pargana region, Barhet holds deep cultural and political significance
Barhet, Jharkhand's most high-profile assembly seat, stands at the crossroads of tradition and transformation. Chief Minister Hemant Soren, a two-time winner here, faces an invigorated challenge from BJP's young candidate Gamaliyal Hembram. This contest is more than a political skirmish - it's a reflection of tribal identity, legacy, and aspirations.
Historical Battleground
Nestled in the historical Santhal Pargana region, Barhet holds deep cultural and political significance. Known as Damin-e-Koh, or "lap of the mountain," this land has been home to the Santhals since 1832 when the British designated it as their settlement area for farming. It was here, in 1855, that the Santhal Rebellion, or "Hool," erupted against British exploitation, led by Sidho, Kanhu, Chand, and Bhairav.
