What problems did shifting cultivators face under British rule? Answer: The life of shifting cultivators was directly connected to the forest. So, when the British brought changes in forest laws, their life was badly affected.

▪︎For administrative and economic reasons, the British government tried settling the jhum or shifting cultivators. However, settled plough cultivation did not prove to be helpful to these jhum cultivators.

▪︎They often suffered because their fields did not produce good yields.

▪︎The new forest laws also affected the lives of the shifting cultivators.

▪︎ Shifting or jhum cultivation is usually done on small patches of forest land.

▪︎Under the forest laws, the British extended their control over all forests and declared that forests were state property.

▪︎Thus, the jhum cultivators were prevented from practising jhum cultivation freely. Many were forced to move to other areas in search of work and livelihood.
