Answer:

The tribals practiced shifting cultivation but the British forced them to settle down and become the peasant cultivators.
The traders and the moneylenders came into the forests to buy forest produce and lured them take loans at high interest rates. The tribals once caught into the debt trap remained indebted throughout their lives.
Under the British rule, the tribal chiefs lost the authority that they had earlier enjoyed among their people and were unable to fulfill their traditional functions.
The tribals were evacuated from their lands and they had to look for other livelihood options.
