Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The British attempted to disturb the tribal way of life in several ways because they did not want to see it preserved. Numerous tribal uprisings occurred against the British. If people gathered in one area, the British would tax them on a regular basis. The British discovered that tribes on the move were more challenging to manage and control than peasants based in one location. The British were uneasy with groups that did not have a fixed home and wandered around. They wanted the tribal groups to become peasant cultivators and settle down. The tribal chiefs lost their administrative authority because they had to abide by the regulations issued by British officials.
The correct statement would be that the tribal way of life was not something the British wanted to maintain.
