During 1857 movement Palamau was the most severely affected zone of Chotanagpur plateau. The brothers Nilambar and Pitambar, the chief of Bhogta clan of Kharwar tribe were holding ancestral Jagirs. Taking advantage of the movements against British rule they made up their minds to declare themselves to be independents and were joined by many Chero Jagirdars. They jointly attacked on British supporters. ‘O’ Malley (1907) has narrated that Nilambar and Pitambar were eventually captured, tried and hanged.
