Five ways in which the life of the tribals changed after the advent of the colonial rulers:
The tribal chiefs had considerable amount of power before the advent of the British. They had the power to administer and control their territories. Some tribal chiefs had their own police. They also managed forests.
After the arrival of the British, the tribal chiefs lost many of their administrative powers and had to follow the rules which were formulated by the British. They also had to pay taxes to the British.
Although the tribal chiefs were allowed to keep land titles, they were now unable to fulfil their traditional functions.
The British Government wanted shifting cultivators to take up settled cultivation and become peasant cultivators. This was because the British wanted fixed revenues. It was also easy to manage and control settled cultivators.
The jhum cultivators who often took to settled cultivation suffered as the fields which were assigned to them were not productive. Because of protests, the British had to allow them to carry out shifting cultivation in some parts of the forests.
