Answer

Both 1 and 2

1. Santhal Paraganas were created — Correct. After the Santhal Hul (1855–56), the British carved out a separate administrative unit called Santhal Parganas to better control and administer the area.

2. Transfer of Santhal land to non-Santhals became illegal — Correct. The colonial government later introduced protective tenancy/land measures in the region to restrict transfer of tribal land to outsiders (dikus).

Therefore, both 1 and 2 are correct.
