Advertisements
उत्तर
When outsiders arrived, the Paharias, a tribal group residing in the Rajmahal Hills (modern-day Jharkhand, India), reacted by isolating themselves and fighting. They lived a simple life, depending on hunting, gathering, and shifting cultivation.
- Avoiding Contact: The Paharias preferred living in hills and woodlands, avoiding close contact with other people.
- Raiding Plains: The Paharias raided plains villages and marketplaces as foreigners, including settlers, zamindars, and British officials, started to develop on their territory.
- Conflict with the British: The Paharias resisted the British attempts to increase revenue collection, which resulted in regular fights.
- Eventual Decline: Decline Over time, the British weakened the position of the Paharia by using military force and encouraging the Santals, another tribal group, to settle in Paharia territories.
