Question

· How did the powers of the tribal chiefs change under the colonial rule?
. Why did the British want the tribal groups to settle down? How did they do this?
How did changes in forest laws affect the lifestyles of the tribals?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.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 outlands, but they lost much of their administrative power and were forced to follow laws made by the British officials in India.

2.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.

3.Many forests which supplied valuable timber were declared as reserved forests by the British. The tribals were not allowed to collect wood, fruits, hunt and practice shifting cultivation in these forests. This resulted in the loss of livelihood, poverty and hunger among the tribals.
