Answer:

CHAPTER - VI

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF COLONIAL AND

POST-COLONIAL TRIBAL PEOPLE

In this chapter a detailed discussion on the economic policies of the

colonial and post-colonial states are discussed. While discussing the colonial

period emphasis is given to land revenue and forest policies and to assess its

effect on the tribal life, especially among the Kurichias. In the post-colonial

period, independent state‟s agrarian reforms, occupational mobility and land

reforms were taken into analysis to understand the dynamics of the economic

life of the tribals.

Economy, colonialism and the tribals

The British conquest of Malabar changed the situation by

strengthening its control over the whole area and tightening its grip as a

central imperialistic power extending to every aspect of people's life and

activity. The British came into contact with the tribes in Malabar during their

efforts for the consolidation of the Empire. In the beginning the colonial

Government did not want to go into the roots of tribal problems as they have

no interest in their development. It did not evolve a consistent policy for

tribal development during the 19th century, but in the 20th century, a little

attention was paid only to the welfare of the tribes in those areas where the

colonial agents lived.1

But the attempts made during this period miserably

failed to have any positive impact on the tribal economy. J.P. Hutton, the

commissioner of census 1931, has summarized the impact of British rule on

1 Velayudha Saravanan, 'Economic Decline of Tribals in Tamil Nadu – 1947-

2000' in Govinda Chandra Rath (Ed.) Tribal Development in India – The

Contemporary Debate, New Delhi, 2000, p.218.
