Q.
7. Describe the salient features of the Colonial Forest Policy in India.
Ans.
During the colonial period, a great change was
seen in the demand and use of forest resources in India. Now the demand of
resources by Indians increased alongwith the British demands. For example, the
pressure on forests was increasing as a result of expansion of agriculture,
expansion of railways etc. The result was degradation of soil and ill-health.
Besides, the policies framed by the British for management and control of
forest had imbibed colonial character in which the local communities were
barred from using the forest and its resources while the British continued
exploiting them at a large scale.
