\nThe correct answer is A) Santals.
\n<\/section>\n
\nDamin-i-Koh was a demarcated area in the Santhal Parganas (part of present-day Jharkhand) created by the British in 1832. The aim was to settle the Santals, encourage them to practice settled agriculture, and collect land revenue.
\n<\/section>\n
\nBefore the creation of Damin-i-Koh, the Santals were shifting cultivators and forest dwellers. The British policy aimed to bring them under revenue administration and control. The influx of outsiders (moneylenders, zamindars) into this area, encouraged by British policies, led to exploitation of the Santals and eventually resulted in the Santhal Rebellion of 1855-56. Mundas and Oraons are other major tribal communities in the Chota Nagpur region but Damin-i-Koh was specifically related to the Santals.
