Why did the British want the tribal people to settle down

Answer 1

The British wanted the tribal communities to settle down as peasant cultivators because:

2️⃣ They were not comfortable with semi-nomadic people and those who did not have a permanent house.

3️⃣ They also wanted a fixed income.

4️⃣ Settling the tribal communities would ensure a fixed agricultural produce and thus a fixed revenue.
