Tribals DikusForest Laws and Their Impact
The changes in forest laws had deep impact on tribal life. The forests were declared as state property. Forests which produced useful timber were declared as Reserved Forests. The tribal people were not allowed to move freely in the reserved forests. They could no longer practice jhum cultivation, collect fruits or hunt animals.
Many tribal had to move to other areas in search of work and livelihood. But this created the problem of labour shortage for the British.
The British officials came up with a solution. The jhum cultivation was allowed on the condition that those tribals would provide labour to the Forest Department and would look after the forest. Thus, forest villages were established in many regions.
Many tribal groups reacted against the colonial forest laws. They disobeyed the new rules. They continued with practices which were declared as illegal. At times, some of them also rose in rebellion. The revolt of Songram Sangma in 1906 in Assam, and the forest satyagraha of the 1930s in the Central Provinces are examples of such revolts.
The Problem With Trade
The traders and moneylenders often came to the forests to buy forest produce. They also offered cash loans and asked the tribal people to work for wages. But they used to exploit the innocent people which increased the misery of the tribal people. The tribal people did all the hard work to collect forest produce but were paid meager amount. The middlemen, on the other hand, used to earn huge profit. This was the reason the traders and moneylenders were viewed as enemies by many tribal groups.
