Critically assess the British strategy to ensure the availability of cheap labour for the Forest Department to cut trees and transport logs.
Answers
Answer:
The Birsa movement was significant in two ways:
It forced the colonial government to introduce laws so that the land of the tribals could not easily be taken over by dikus.
It showed once again that the tribal people had the capacity to protest against injustice and express their anger against colonial rule. They did this in their own specific way, inventing their own rituals and symbols of struggle
2.The British stopped the tribal people from living inside forests by introducing some changes in forest laws.
Colonial officials solved this problem by giving jhum cultivators small patches of land in the forests and allowing them to cultivate these on the condition that these who lived in villages would have to provide labour to the Forest Department and look after the forests. The Forest Department established forest villages in many regions to ensure a regular supply of cheap labour.
