Answer 1

$\large{\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{Hello}}}}}$  

Before the arrival of the British, in many areas the tribal chiefs were important people. They enjoyed a certain amount of economic power and had the right to administer and control their territories, in some places they had their own police and decided on the local rules of land and forest management.

Answer 2

Answer: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.
