Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer:-The main causes of tribal uprisings in the 19th century was the British land settlements and land laws that created tensions in the tribal society.-Non-tribals had started entering forests and clearing land for settled agriculture, this disturbed the lives of tribal communities.
Detailed explanation-2: -The British enforced the Forest Act of 1865 and 1878 and established monopoly over the forested land.
