▪︎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.
