Detailed explanation-1: -Under British rule, the functions and powers of the tribal chiefs changed considerably. They were allowed to keep their land titles over a cluster of villages and rent out lands, but they lost much of their administrative power and were forced to follow laws made by British officials in India.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why did the British want tribal groups to settle down and become peasant cultivators? Answer: It was because settled peasants were easier to control and administer than people who were always on the move.
Detailed explanation-3: -They made adverse changes in the Forest Laws. Now the Forest became State property. It prohibited the activities like hunting and gathering, pasture, cutting of trees, etc., which greatly affected the tribals’ life, thus they revolted against the British East India company.
Detailed explanation-4: -The British described the tribal people as wild and savage. The tribal chiefs got land titles in central India under the British land settlements.
