Q.7. What were the major causes of the tribal revolt?
Ans.
Dear Student,
Main causes of tribal revolt were:
a. Forest Acts were enacted in the different provinces, Through these Acts some forests which produced commercially valuable timber like deodar or sal were declared ‘Reserved’. Other forests were classified as ‘Protected’, Villagers were denied access to reserved forests.
b. Powers of the Tribal chiefs changed. They had to abide by the British officials and laws.
c. Jhum cultivation was banned in Reserved forest.
d. Taxes were imposed on people.
e, Grazing and hunting were restricted as a result many nomadic communities lost their livelihood.It also resulted in loss of tribal control over forest resources.
f. It brought about displacement of people.The tribals lost their customary right to live in close harmony with nature.
g. The values of living in harmony with nature, of fairness, of freedom and justice were violated.
g. Tribals opposed such changes and rebelled against British policies, against new laws and restrictions.
h, We may give example of how People in north east rebelled to restore their traditional practise and establish control over their area of inhabitation.
i. In Orissa for instance, some groups like The Khonds of Orissa were hunters and gatherers. Some were also cattle herders like Gujjars of Punjab hills.In many other parts British created categories of reserved protected forests, and prevented villagers entry into them. People rose against the British laws that deprived them of their traditional practises.
j. We may also give example of Birsa movement which aimed at restoring the culture of the tribals which was affected by the colonial policies. He wanted to drive out the movement, missionaries, moneylenders, Hindu landlords, and the government that were a threat to the tribals and their lifestyle.
Regards
