A view of a hill village in Rajmahal, painted by William Hodges, 1782. William Hodges was a British artist who accompanied Captain Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific (1772-75), and then came to India. In 1781 he became a friend of Augustus Cleveland, the Collector of Bhagalpur.

Raja Tejchand was the Raja of Burdwan when the Permanent Settlement was imposed.

Francis Buchanan was a physician who came to India and served in the Bengal Medical Service.For a few years he was surgeon to the Governor-General of India, Lord Wellesley.

By the 1780s, Augustus Cleveland, the Collector of Bhagalpur, proposed a policy of pacification. Paharia chiefs were given an annual allowance and made responsible for the proper conduct of their men. They were expected to maintain order in their localities and discipline their own people. Many Paharia chiefs refused the allowances.
