hw the power of tribal chiefs changed under colonial rule??? no NCERT solution plzzzzzzzz.. i want simple words....... 40-50

Before the arrival of British in India tribals were ruled by the so called chiefs of the groups of tribals who had control over certain territories and its people. They had their own set of rules, laws and police force to control and protect their people and territories .They collected taxes and enjoyed full freedom to rule. After the British arrived, their powers were clipped and though the tribal chiefs enjoyed the right to rule their people , they had to follow the rules and regulations laid down by the British and had to follow a disciplined governance unlike the lawless governance they use to enjoy before the British came. They also had to pay tribute {taxes} to the British .Thus , the powers of tribal chiefs were highly reduced under the colonial rule
