The Bihar Prant Hul Jharkhand was a Jharkhandi political party in the Indian state of Bihar. The party emerged from a split in the Jharkhand Party [1] and was founded on 28 December 1968. [2] [3] The party was based among non-Christian Adivasis in the Santhal Parganas. [4] The party was named after the 1855 Santhal rebellion, commonly known as 'Hul'. [2]

The party contested the 1969 Bihar Legislative Assembly election, fielding 14 candidates whom together mustered 56,506 votes (0.38% of all votes cast in the state). 5 candidates of the party were elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly. [5]

In 1972 the party was divided into two - the Progressive Hul Jharkhand Party and the Rajya Hul Jharkhand Party. [6] [7]
