Solution

All the above

Explanation:

Paharias live in Rajmahal's highlands. People from the United Kingdom began to interact with them, and Santhals began to settle in the area. The Paharias response was as follows:

  1. The Paharias initially opposed the settlement of Santhals but were eventually forced to allow them.
  2. The Paharias relocated to higher ground in the highlands.
  3. Over time, they were relegated to increasingly desolate and stony portions of the highlands.
  4. The paharias practised shifting agriculture. As suitable and stable settlements became more difficult, shifting farming became increasingly problematic.
  5. As the forest began to be removed, the paharias were no longer able to rely on it for their livelihood. As a result of the arrival of outsiders, the Paharias' lifestyle and way of life changed.
