Question:
What problems did shifting cultivators face under British rule?
Answer:
The Forest laws gave the British total control over the forests which were now considered as Government property. Some forests were classified as Reserved Forests as they produced timber which the British wanted. The tribals were not allowed to move freely in the forest and practice Shifting cultivation. They were also not allowed to collect fruits or hunt animals.
