Expert Answer
Under the rule of the British, the functions and powers of the tribal chiefs changed in many respects. They were allowed to keep their land titles over a cluster of villages and rent out lands. However, they lost much of their administrative powers and were compelled to adhere to the laws enacted by the British government. They also had to pay tribute to the British and discipline the tribal groups on their behalf. In effect it can be said that under the British rule, the tribal chiefs lost the authority that they had earlier enjoyed among their people and failed to fulfill their traditional functions.
