Question

what accounts for the anger of the tribals against the dikus

Answer 1

Moneylenders, Hindu landlords and the British officials were considered dikus or the outsiders. The tribals were under the slavery of these outsiders. Hence they wished to free them from their (outsiders) slavery. They viewed dikus as the sole cause of their misery and sufferings. Tribal groups often needed to buy and sell in under to be able to get the goods that were not produced within the locality. This led to their difference on traders and moneylanders. Traders came around with things for sale, and sold the goods at high prices. Moneylenders gave loans with which the tribals met their cash needs, adding to what they earned. But the interest charged on the loans was usually very high. So for the tribals, market and commerce often meant debt and poverty. They therefore came to see the moneylender and trader as evil outsiders and the cause of their misery.
