How did the Paharias respond to the coming of outsiders?
Paharias live in the hills of Rajmahal. The British people began to interact with them and later Santhals began to settle down there. The response of the Paharias was as follows:
1.Paharias resisted the settlement of Santhals initially but had to accommodate them in course of time.
2.The Paharias shifted to deeper areas into the hills.
3.They were confined to more barren and rocky areas of the hills in course of time.
4.The paharias did shifting cultivation. Now shifting cultivation was becoming more and more difficult as proper and stable settlements.
5.As forest began to be cleared, the paharis could not depend on it for livelihood. Thus, the lifestyle and living of Paharias underwent change due to coming of outsiders.
