Why did the Non-Cooperation Movement take a different form in forest areas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: People were troubled by forest laws
In forest regions, colonial forest laws restricted customary access to forests. Communities faced limits on grazing cattle, collecting fuelwood and forest produce, and practising shifting cultivation. These restrictions threatened livelihoods, so people adapted the wider non-cooperation idea to demand access to forest resources and resist official control. Option A is correct. Full rights had not been granted, government control was present, and foreign-cloth shops were not the central issue.
