British protection against tribal attacks |

There were also symptoms of a growing tendency among some of the sections, naturally at first among the weaker and more peaceably inclined, to seek our protection, and place themselves directly under our authority by voluntarily offering to pay revenue. The example was set in 1874 by villages near Samaguting, and as they were found to experience immunity from attack, and were thus enabled to extend their cultivation, others followed the example. |
