What were the results of tribal dependence on traders and money lenders?
Answers
Answer:
Dikus were the people who made the tribal people dependent upon them, thereby causing them a lot of misery and suffering. These outsiders were composed of traders and moneylenders who would come into the forests to sell the goods not produced within the forest, buy forest produce and offer cash loans
Answer:
i)Tribal groups often needed to buy and sell in order to be able to get the goods that were no produced within the locality. This led to their dependence on traders and moneylenders.
ii) 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.
iv)But the interest charged on the loans was usually very high.
v)So for the tribals, market and commerce often meant debt and poverty.
