What problems did shifting cultivators face under British rule?
✓

Answer

The problems faced by shifting cultivators under British rule were 
→ The life of shifting cultivators was directly connected to the forest. So, when the British brought changes in forest law, their life was badly affected. 
→ The British extended their control over all forests and declared that forests were state's property. 
→ Some forests were classified as Reserved forests due to valuable timber which the British wanted to acquire. In these forests, people were not allowed to move freely and the jhum cultivators. Thus, many cultivators had to move to other areas in search of work.

Colebrook on Bengal ryots
In many villages of Bengal, some of the powerful ryots did not cultivate, but instead gave out their lands to others (the under-tenants), taking from them very high rents. In 1806, H. T. Colebrook described the conditions of these undertenants in Bengal:
The under-tenants, depressed by an excessive rent in kind, and by usurious returns for the cattle, seed, and subsistence, advanced to them, can never extricate themselves from debt. In so abject a state, they cannot labour in spirit, while they earn a scanty subsistence without hope of bettering their situation.
