Answer 1

The British wanted tribal groups to settle down and become peasant cultivators, because as settled peasants they were easier to control and administer.

The British also wanted a regular revenue source for the state. So they introduced land settlements, that is, they measured the land, defined the rights of each individual to that land, and fixed the revenue the farmer had to pay to the state.

But the British effort to settle jhum cultivators was not very successful, because when their fields did not produce good yields, shifting cultivators who took to plough cultivation often suffered a lot.

Facing widespread protests, the British had to ultimately allow the right to carry on shifting cultivation in some parts of the forest.

Answer 2

Explanation:

ANSWER 3 = The planters converted suitable tribal lands into planttations. This caused the resident tribals to be displaced from their homes and deprived of their traditional livelihood.
