3. Causes of Forest-based Rebellions

4. Forest-based rebellions in India have happened for various reasons, often involving the struggles of local communities who depend on forests. Here are the main causes : The primary cause of these rebellions was the British colonial policies regarding usage of the forests. The British colonial government had begun reserving forests, which only allowed certain corporations to exploit forest resources.  This led to the erosion of tribal rights to land and forest as a result of British-imposed laws. 4

5. Effects of Forest- based Rebellions

6. Forest-based rebellions in India, often referred to as "tribal uprisings" or "forest revolts," have had significant social, political, and economic effects on the regions where they occurred. The new forest laws meant severe hardship for villagers across the country. After the Act (Forest Act), all their everyday practices, cutting wood for their houses, grazing their cattle, collecting fruits and roots, hunting and fishing became illegal. This resulted in the loss of livelihood, poverty and hunger among the tribals. 6
