The book elaborately discusses the colonial plunder of forest resources up to the introduction of the Forest Act (1878) and focuses on how colonial policy impacted on the Indian environment, opening the floodgates of forest resources plunder, primarily for timber and to establish coffee and tea plantations. The book argues that even after the advent of conservation initiatives, commercial exploitation of forests continued unabated while stringent restrictions were imposed on the tribals, curtailing their access to the jungles. It details how post-colonial governments and populist votebank politics followed the same commercial forest policy till the 1980s without any major reform, exploiting forest resources and also encroaching upon forest lands, pushing the self-sustainable tribal economy to crumble. The book offers a comprehensive account of Indiaâ#x80;#x99;s environmental history during both colonial and post-colonial times, contributing to the current environmental policy debates in Asia. 001359282 650_0 $$aEnvironment. 001359282 650_0 $$aAsia-History. 001359282 650_0 $$aImperialism. 001359282 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 001359282 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359282 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811080517 001359282 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811080531 001359282 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811340499 001359282 852__ $$bebk 001359282 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-8052-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359282 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359282$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359282 980__ $$aBIB 001359282 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359282 982__ $$aEbook 001359282 983__ $$aOnline 001359282 994__ $$a92$$bISE
