Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.

The British brought strangers into the tribal territories, such as moneylenders, severely exploiting the native tribes. Under the new economic structure, they were reduced to bonded labour. Apart from this, the inflow of non-tribals into the traditional tribal lands made the tribal population lose their land.

The tribal people lost their means of subsistence as a result.
