Answer:
4. The revolts in The north-eastern region like Assam took place against the heavy taxes which were levied by The Britishers on the farmers. The taxes were increased from 50 to 70 %. Those who were unable to pay their lands were confiscated. The revolts were organised by the people under the local leaders.
5. Birsa Munda was the tribal leader living in Chotanagpur plateau and belonged from the family of Munda. Birsa organised people who went against British, moneylenders, Zamindars. They attacked police stations, churches, captured properties of landlords. In return British were forced to protect tribal lands.
1. The British wanted the shifting cultivators to settle down and became peasant cultivators. But settled plough cultivation is not easy in areas where water is scarce and the soil is dry. In fact, shifting cultivators who took to plough cultivation often suffered. Their fields did not produce good yields.
2. Under British rule, the functions and powers of the tribal chiefs changed considerably. They were allowed to keep their land titles over a cluster of villages and rent out lands, but they lost much of their administrative power and were forced to follow laws made by British officials in India.
