Important Points The revolt of Songram Sangam is one of the major revolts of Assam. This revolt was occurred because of the exploitation of the British that deprived the tribes of the forest rights that the tribes were used. The British extended their control over all forests and declared that forests were state property. Some forests were classified as Reserved Forests for they produced timber that the British wanted. In these forests, people were not allowed to move freely, practice jhum cultivation, collect fruits, or hunt animals . Tribals who lived in the deep forest were forced by the British to move away and live in small land where British can control them.
