Critically analyze the impact of the ‘Permanent Settlement’

The Permanent Settlement, a revenue system, drastically altered pre-colonial Arunachal Pradesh’s socio-economic structure. This impacts tribal lands.

– Permanent Settlement: Revenue system.

– Pre-Colonial Land Tenure: Tribal customs.

– Socio-economic Fabric: Structure of Society.

The Permanent Settlement, implemented elsewhere, never directly reached Arunachal. However, British influence affected the region indirectly, impacting trade and access to resources. This weakened traditional tribal governance and land control. The impact on tribal autonomy was significant, promoting inequality and conflict.

While the Permanent Settlement was not implemented directly in Arunachal, indirect British policies and their impact on neighboring regions influenced the socio-economic fabric. It weakened traditional tribal land rights.
