Answer 1

*Kalangs of Java were a community of skilled forest cutters and shifting cultivators.

*They were so valuable that in 1755 when the Mataram kingdom of Java split, the 6000 families were equally divided between two kingdoms.

*Without their expertise it would have been difficult to harvest teak and for kings to build palaces.

*when the Dutch began to gain control over the forest in 18th century they tried to make kalangal work under them.

*In 1770 the kalangal resisted by attacking a at Dutch fort at Joana,b ut the uprising was suppressed.

Hope it helps!
