Question

how did the tribal lead their lives ? what were the main professions​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main occupation of the tribal people was agriculture. But there were also hunter-gatherers or herders. Most often they combined these activities to make full use of the natural resources of the area in which they lived. Some tribes were nomadic moving from one place to another.

A tribal group controlled land and pastures jointly and divided these amongst household as per its own rules.

Answer 2

• The tribal groups were considered important people, because it is they who controlled their territories. Under the British rule they lose their administrative power and were forced to follow law made by British officials in India.
• Before the British arrived, tribal chiefs were important people; they had some money and the right to manage their lands and people.
• But under the British rule, they lost much of their powers and were asked to discipline their tribe on behalf of the British government.
• This subjugation meant that the tribal chiefs lost the authority among their people, and gradually also the will to fulfil their traditional functions..
