The Santhal Immigration (2000 BCE - 1500 BCE)
The Santhals originated from the now known nation of Down Unian. They were culturally different and in some ways, more technologically advanced that other tribes of the time. They figured out to make large boats and emigrated from Down Unian, going northeast and find a rogue island in the middle of the ocean. Not all Santhals went to the island, though. Some said to stay in their native homes, but others wanted to find and discover new places. The conservative Santhal are now integrated with other people in Down Unian. The trip was long and dangerous, and many longed that they had stayed in their native lands. The Santhals eventually found out to make a device working similar like a compass, and it was used to emigrate Down Unian. Lots of Santhals were excited to visit the newly discovered island, and went there hoping to find a better life and individual freedom. But once they got there, the people were often disappointed. The island was a barren snowy wasteland, and many chose to go back. Only about 400 Santhals chose to live in the island. Arable land was almost as precious as diamonds, and starvation was a common. The Santhals, although had lots of freedom, were suffering there. Most tried to make boats to escape but because of a lack of resources, most tragically starved or died from thirst. They weren't adapting very well with this type of climate.

The Muscovs and the Santhals (1500 BCE - 500 BCE)
The remaining Santhals moved eastward, and they found a small tribe who called themselves the Muscovs (Slavs). Many Slavs were shocked, for they had never seen people that had dark skin. Many took pity on them, and gave them shelter. The Muscovs taught the Santhals to survive under these cold and harsh conditions. They taught them to hunt, to make shelter, to speak their traditional language, etc. Soon, they agreed to divide their island which they live on. One was the side of the Muscovs and the other was for the Santhals. They practiced their own traditions and held friendly relations. Many interbred, and a new generation of Santhal-Muscovs were born. This news spread to their Down Unian homelands. The Santhals were shocked at how well the Santhals there were doing at a place which they deemed as a hellhole. Many decided to take a shot there, and went there. Most of the people who went there were doing just as good as the ones already there.

The Harslav Era (500 BCE - 600)
The Harslav Era was the period of peace and prosperity for the Muscovs and the Santhals. The Santhals expanded their influence in the island. The name of the era was deemed as Harslav, since that became the new name for part Slavic and part Santhals. They migrated more north. They reached the edge of the island, and they found glaciers and arctic creatures. They settled there and hunted animals for food. New technological advances were being built. Technology ranged from invention of shampoo to plastic surgery to even simple forms of electricity. This was the golden age of Indoinastan. The Santhals and Muscovs were great allies and they exchanged technology. Both tribes had taken over all most the entire island. More and more Santhals started to departure Down Unian to Indoinastan because of their technology and relatives and a recent spark of event in which an ideology as known as Proto-Stalinist-Unianism was starting to gain power in Down Unian, and Santhals were libertarian. Towns were now being built out of stone and were even painted and decorated after figuring out how to create modern paint out of the now extinct species of the Keralite Whale. Iron was also discovered and use to make lots of equipment, and was used to make early forms of deformed steel. Despite its cold climates, Indoinastan was becoming more hotter due to an increase use of wood and deforestation in the period. The Santhals also adapted Hindi and Bengali scripts to write their languages.

Sanslav War (600-620)
This was a war that was 20 years long, and fought between the Santhals and the Muscovs. Although close allies once, became hateful enemies. The war presumably occurred because of ideological and cultural tensions. The war might've been occuring because a Slavic monarch named Oleg Stalotsky overtook the anarchist regime of the Muscovs, and could've been racist or tried to integrate the Santhals to become Orthodox. This could've made the Santhals made because they were pro-anarchist, and disliked that a monarch was trying to assimilate them. The Santhals declared war on the Duchy of Muscovy and it started like this. Stalotsky was an influential person and was able to turn his people into racist and convinced many that the Santhals were the enemies. The way Stalotsky achieved this is unknown, but it proved to work very well, and just in a few years, most of the Muscovs felt hatred against the Santhals. This was a very astonishing part of history, since the Muscovs and the Santhals were such allies that it seemed like it was eternal, but Stalotsky found a way to divide them. The war was fought using the traditional horses and swords. Many people went to war, and died. The casualties were roughly 10,000 for the Muscovs and 28,000 for the Santhals. The Santhals had the numerical superiority, having over 80,000 men and women ready for war, compared to 40,000 for the Muscovs. The Duchy of Muscovy however had technological superiority and a stronger control on the military. The war was long, lasting for over 19 years, and finally the Santhals lost due to a lack of supplies and their absence of a state. The Santhals became slaves for the Muscovs, and were treated horribly, worse than the Africans in Belgian Congo. This would the fate of many Santhals, and if they went to Down Unian, they would have to face Proto-Stalinism-Unianism and be also enslaved. This slavery lasted for a disturbingly long time.
