Question

Whats accounts for the anger of the tribals against the dikus

Answer 1

"there are many reasons for the anger of the tribals against the dikus:

1.    The tribals were used to shifting cultivation but the British forced them to practice settled agriculture.

2.    Traders and moneylenders were also the reason.

They were coming to the forest to buy wood at cheap rates and lured them cash loans at a high rate.

"

Answer 2

Tribals were not happy with dikus who were considered as ‘outsiders’ by them. Tribals wanted to be shifting cultivators and not be peasant cultivators. The dikus were settling in at the tribals’ lands, wanting the latter to sell their lands or rent their lands at very high-interest rates. This made the tribals unhappy. Also, the tribal chiefs lost their administrative powers under British rule. Later, the tribals were evacuated from their lands, and they had to look for other livelihood options.
