Question

my history is weak so I want the answer in very easy words please....​

Answer 1

The British allotted the right to trade in forest products in specific areas to British companies. Activities like grazing and hunting were restricted in these areas which held economic importance through forest produce. The Grazing Act restricted grazing and hunting in these areas. Native communities like Koravas, Karachas and Yerakula which traditionally depended on grazing, hunting and collecting forest produce were grouped under the Criminal Tribes Act. Thus, not only did these communities lose their livelihood but were also distrusted and branded for the British's economist

brainliest if it did help.

Answer 2

The term Criminal Tribes Act (CTA) refers to various pieces of legislation enforced in India during British rule; the first enacted in 1871 as the Criminal Tribes Act, 1871 applied mostly in North India. The Act was extended to Bengal Presidency and other areas in 1876, and, finally, with the Criminal Tribes Act, 1911, it was extended to Madras Presidency as well. The Act went through several amendments in the next decade and, finally, the Criminal Tribes Act, 1924 incorporated all of them.
