Abstract

The Santal Mission was established on 26th September 1867 by Mr E.C. Johnson a British missionary of Baptish Missionary Society, Lars Olsen Skrefsrud, a Norwegian and Hans Peter Boerresen, a Danish. So as to provide a better way of life to the Santal, Lars Olsen Skrefsrud and Hans Peter Boerresen played an important role to bring them to Goalpara district, which resulted in the creation of a Santal Colony in Assam. During the colonial period, the Santals were taken away by the British as tea coolies and forest labourers to different parts of India. Accordingly, the Santal Mission had brought a group of Santal community to Guma Duar in Goalpara district of Assam. Thereafter, several waves of Santal immigrants came to Goalpara district through the Santal Mission and made settlements in different places of Goalpara district. This article attempts to study the settlement of Santal and establishment of a Santal colony in Guma Duar of Goalpara district in Assam.

新大陆之旅:殖民时期阿萨姆邦戈帕拉区的圣塔人定居点

圣塔传教会成立于1867年9月26日，由英国浸信会传教士E.C. Johnson先生、挪威人Lars Olsen Skrefsrud和丹麦人Hans Peter Boerresen共同创立。为了给桑塔人提供更好的生活方式，Lars Olsen Skrefsrud和Hans Peter Boerresen发挥了重要作用，将他们带到Goalpara地区，从而在阿萨姆邦建立了桑塔人殖民地。在殖民时期，桑塔尔人被英国人作为茶叶苦力和森林工人带到印度的不同地区。因此，桑塔尔特派团将一群桑塔尔人带到阿萨姆邦戈帕拉区的古马杜阿尔。此后，几波Santal移民通过Santal Mission来到Goalpara地区，并在Goalpara地区的不同地方定居。本文试图研究在阿萨姆邦戈帕拉地区的古马杜瓦尔，桑塔尔人的定居和桑塔尔人殖民地的建立。

期刊介绍： History and Sociology of South Asia provides a forum for scholarly interrogations of significant moments in the transformation of the social, economic and political fabric of South Asian societies. Thus the journal advisedly presents an interdisciplinary space in which contemporary ideas compete, and critiques of existing perspectives are encouraged. The interdisciplinary focus of the journal enables it to incorporate diverse areas of research, including political economy, social ecology, and issues of minority rights, gender, and the role of law in development. History and Sociology of South Asia also promotes dialogue on socio-political problems, from which academicians as well as activists and advocacy groups can benefit.
