This document discusses different ways of life among tribal groups in India. It describes tribes that practiced shifting cultivation, hunting and gathering, herding animals, and settled cultivation. It explains how British colonial policies disrupted tribal lives and economies. The British declared forests as state property, restricted tribal access and practices, and imposed new taxes. This led tribes to lose control over resources and face poverty, exploitation, and debt. It discusses tribal rebellions against colonial changes and analyzes the movement led by Birsa Munda to resist disruption of traditional tribal ways of life.

This PPT will take you into the forest and tell you about the variety of ways the forests were used by communities living within them. It will show how in the nineteenth century the growth of Industries and urban centers created a new demand on the forests for timber and other forest products. New demands led to new rules of forests use, new ways of organizing the forests. All these developments affected the lives of those local communities who used forest resources. They were forced t operate within new systems and reorganise their lives. But they also rebelled against the rules and persuaded the state to change its policies. Will give you and idea of the history of such developments in India and Indonesia.

Impact of colonialism in india.
Colonisation had a severe impact on the Indian traders and merchants. Indian markets were fully captured by the British and heavy taxes were imposed on the export of Indian products in the outside market. In this way the market for Indian goods were losing popularity and Indian traders and merchants faced heavy losses.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. Shifting cultivators
• Some of the tribals practiced jhum cultivation i.e. shifting
cultivation.
What do they do in shifting cultivation?
This was done on small patches of land, mostly in forests.
The cultivators cut the treetops to allow sunlight to reach the
ground, and burnt the vegetation on the land to clear it for
cultivation.
They spread the ash, which contained potash to fertilise the
soil.
They used the axe to cut trees and the hoe to scratch the soil in
order to prepare it for cultivation.
9. Conti…..
• And scattered the seeds on the field instead of ploughing the
land.
• Once the crop was ready and harvested, they moved to
another field.
10. Conti…
It is also called slash and burn technique.
A field that had been cultivated once was left fallow for
several years.
Shifting cultivators were found in the hilly and forested tracks
of north-east and central India.
11. Hunters and Gatherers
In many regions tribals groups lived by hunting animals and
gathering forest produce.
They saw forests as essential for survival.
The Khonds were such community living in the forests of
Orissa.
12. Conti….
How did they live?
They regularly went out on collective hunts then divided the
meat amongst themselves.
They ate fruits and roots collected from the forests and cooked
food with oil extracted from the seeds of the Sal and Mahua.
They used many forest shrubs and herbs for medicinal
purposes and sold forest produce in the local markets.
At times they exhausted goods- getting what they needed
return for their valuable forest produce.
However when supplies of forest produce shrank, they had to
wander in search of work as labourers.
13. Conti…
But many of them -like the Baigas of Central India were
reluctant to do work for others.
The Baigas saw themselves as people of the forest, who could
only live on the produce of the forest.
It was below the dignity of a Baiga to become labourer.
Tribal groups often needed to buy goods and sell in order to
be able to get the goods that were not produced within the
locality.
As a result this led to their dependence on traders and
moneylenders.
Traders often bought forest produce from the tribals at cheap
price, but sold their goods to the tribals at very high prices.
14. Conti…
Moneylenders gave loans with which the tribals met their cash
needs.
But the interest charged on the loans was usually very high.
So, for the tribals, markets and commerce often meant debt
and poverty.
They saw moneylenders and traders as evil outsiders and
cause of their misery.
15. Animal Herders
Many tirbal groups lived by herding and rearing animals.
They were pastoralists who moved with their herds of cattles
or sheeps according to the seasons.
When the grass in one place was exhausted, they moved to
another area.
EX: The Van Gujjrs of Punjab The Gaddis if Kulu were
hills & Labadies of AP were shepherds.
cattle herders
17. Settled Cultivators
Some tribal groups preferred to settle down and cultivating
their fields in one place year after year instead of moving place
to place.
They began to use the plough and gradually got rights over the
land they lived on.
18. Conti…
Ex: The Mundas of Chottanagpur the land belonged to the clan as a
whole.
How they lived?
All the members of the clan were regarded as descendents of the
original settlers.
Therefore, all of them had rights on the
land.
Some became chiefs and others
followers.
19. Conti…
Powerful men often rented out their land instead of cultivating it
themselves.
Many British officials saw settled tribal groups like the Gonds and Santhals
as more civilized than hunter gatherers or shifting cultivators.
Those who lived in the forests were considered to be wild and savage, they
needed to be settled and civilized.
20.
21. What happened to tribal chiefs?
Before the arrival of British, the tribal chiefs were important
people.
They had the right to administer and control their territories.
In some places they had their own police and decided on the
local rules of land and forest management.
But under British rule, the functions and powers of the tribal
chiefs changed.
How did they change?
They were allowed to keep their
titles and rent out lands.
22. Conti…
But they lost their administrative power and were forced to
follow laws made by the British.
They also had to pay tribute to the British and discipline the
tribal groups on behalf of the British.
They lost the authority they had earlier enjoyed amongst their
people and were unable to fulfill their traditional functions.
23. What happened to the shifting
cultivators?
The British were not comfortable with these tribal groups,
they wanted tribal groups to settle down and become peasant
cultivators, because they were easier to control and administer.
The British also wanted a regular revenue source for the state.
So they introduced land settlements.
Land settlements:- That is , they measured the land, defined the
rights of each individual to that land and fixed the revenue the
farmer had to pay to the state.
Some peasants were declared
land owners and others as
tenants.
24. Conti…
But the British effort to settle jhum cultivators was not very
successful. Why was it so?
i) Settled plough cultivation is not easy in areas where water is
scarce and the soil is dry.
ii) In fact, they often suffered, since their fields did not produce
good yield.
iii) So, the jhum cultivators in north-east India insisted on
continuing with their traditional practice.
iv) Facing widespread protests the British had to ultimately
allow them the right to carry on shifting cultivation in some
parts of the forest.
25. Forest laws and their impacts on tribal
lives
The life of tribal groups was directly connected to the forests.
So, the British extended their control over all forests and
declared the forests were state property.
Ex: * Some forests were classified as Reserved Forests for they
produced timber which the British wanted. Like sal and teak
for ship building and expansion of railway lines.
• In these forests people were not allowed to move freely,
practice jhum cultivation, collect fruits or hunt animals.
26. Conti…
Many jhum cultivators were therefore forced to move to other
areas in search of work and livelihood.
But once the British stopped the tribal people from living
inside forests, they faced a problem.
• From where would the Forest Department get its labour to cut
trees for railway sleepers and to transport logs?
• Colonial officials came up with a solution- What was that
solution?-
27. Conti…
They decided that they would give jhum cultivators small
patches of land in the forest and allow them to cultivate these
lands on the condition that they would have to provide labour
to the Forest Department.
So in the many regions the Forest Department established
forest villages to ensure a regular supplies of cheap labour.
28. Conti…
Many tribal groups reacted against colonial forest laws.
They disobeyed the new rules, continued with practices that
were declared illegal by the British and at times rose in open
rebellion.
EX: i) The revolt of Sangram Sangma in 1906 in Assam.
ii) The forest Satyagraha of the 1930s in the Central
provinces.
29. The problem with trade
During the 19th century, tribal groups found that traders and
moneylenders were coming into the forests more often.
• Wanting to buy forest produce.
• Offering cash loans and
• Asking them to work for wages.
It took tribal groups some time to
understand the consequences of
what was happening.
30. Conti…
Let’s try to understand the consequences with the help of the case study of silk
growers.
In 18th century, Indian silk was in demand in European markets.
The East India Company officials tried to encourage silk production to
meet the growing demand.
The Santhals of Hazaribagh( in Jharkhand) reared silk and silk traders sent
their agents who gave loans to them to collect the cocoons.
The growers were paid Rs.3 to Rs.4 for a thousand cocoons. These were
then exported to Burdwan or Gaya where they were sold at five times the
price.
31. Conti…
The middle men who arranged deals between exporters and
silk growers made huge profits.
The silk growers earned very little, understandably, many
tribal groups saw the market, and traders as their main
enemies.
32. The search for work
The plight of the tribals who had to go for away from their homes
in search of work was worse- in late 19th century tea plantations
started coming up and mining became an important industries.
So, tribals were recruited in large numbers to work in such tea
plantations of Assam and the mines of Jharkhand.
These tribals were recruited through contractors who paid them
miserably low wages and prevented them from returning homes.
Till now we discussed what changes brought
by British and how they impacted on the
lives of tribal groups.
Now, let’s discuss what happened after these
changes through a closer look.
33. A closer Look
Through the 19th and 20th centuries tribal groups in different
parts of the country rebelled against:
• The changes in laws.
• Tue restrictions on their practices.
• The new taxes they had to pay.
• And the exploitation by traders and moneylenders .
Some of the rebellions are:
i) The Kols rebelled in 1831-32
34. Conti…
ii) Santhals rose in revolt in 1855.
iii) The Bastar Rebellion in central
India broke out in 1910.
iv) The Warli Revolt in
Maharastra on 1940.
The movement that Birsa Munda
Led was one such movement.
35. Birsa Munda
First of all let us see who was Birsa Munda? Then we discuss his
contribution to the tribal movement.
Birsa was born in the mid of 1870s, in a family of
Mundas tribal group that lived in Chottanagpur.
He was the son of a poor father, he grew up around the
Bohonda.
Forced poverty, his father had to move from place to place
looking for work.
As an adolescent, Birsa saw how the Sirdars(leaders) of the
community was urging the people to revolt.
36. Conti…
Birsa went to local missionary school, and listened to the sermons
of missionaries where he heard how Mundas could regain their
power.
Later Birsa aslo spent some time in the company of prominent
Vaishnav preacher.
Birsa was deeply influenced by many of the ideas came in touch
with in his growing up years.
Birsa Munda declared that god had appointed him to save his
people from the slavery of dikus(foreigners,robbers).
His movement was aimed at reforming tribal society.
Birsa also turned against missionaries and Hindu landlords. He saw
them as outside forces that were ruining the Munda way of life.
37. Conti…
He urged the Mundas :
i) To give uo drinking liquor.
ii) Clean their villages and stop believing the witchcrafts
sorcery (MAGIC).
Soon thousands became the followers of Birsa Munda,
included other tribals of the region- such as Santhals and
Oraons.
In 1895 Birsa urged his followers to recover their glorious
past.
38. Conti…
He talked of a golden age in the past- a styug( the age of truth)
when Mundas lived a good life.
Constructed embankments
Tapped natural springs, planted trees and orchards.
Practiced cultivation to earn their living. They did not kill
their brethren and relatives. They lived honestly.
Birsa also wanted people to once again work on their land,
settle-down and cultivate their fields.
Soon Britishers noticed and started worried- What worried
the British officials most was the political aim of the Birsa
movement.( It wanted to drive out missionaries,
moneylenderes, Hindu landlords and the government and set-
up a Munda Raj with Birsa as its head).
39. Conti…
As the movement spread, the British arrested Birsa in 1895,
convicted him on charges of rioting and jailed him for two
years.
When Birsa was released in 1897 he began touring the
villages to gather support , he used traditional symbols and
language to rouse people urging them to destroy ‘Ravana’
(dikus and the Europeans).
40. Conti…
They attacked police stations and churches and raided the properity of
money lenders and Zamindars.
They raised the white flag as a symbol of Birsa Raj.
In 1900 Birsa died of Cholera and the movement faded out.
Even the movement faded out , however the movement was significant in
at least two ways:
First: It forced the colonial government to introduce laws so that the land of
the tribals could not be easily taken over by dikus.
Second: It showed once again that the tribal people had the capacity to
protest against injustice and express their anger against colonial rule
