Detailed Solution

Many forest dwellers had to migrate as a result of habitat changes. They were forced to pay taxes, provide goods and services to regional lords, and eventually become part of large, complex societies. However, inscriptions from the time after 700 are not present.

Assam, Manipur, and Kashmir were all under the control of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban.
