On what did the livelihood of Bastar people depend?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forest resources

The direct answer is A: the livelihood of Bastar people depended on forest resources. Livelihood means the things people rely on to live and work. In Bastar, forests supplied food such as fruits, roots and leaves; fuel and wood; fodder for animals; materials for houses and tools; and products that could be exchanged or sold. Forests also supported grazing, cultivation practices and customary occupations. When colonial rules restricted access or changed forest use, they threatened both income and daily survival. Option A is correct because it identifies the real economic and social base of local life. B is wrong because Bastar is an inland forest region, not a community dependent on sea pearls. C is wrong because railway factories were not the main source of work or subsistence for these forest communities. D is wrong because textile mills were not their principal livelihood. Memory cue: “forest resources = food, fuel, fodder and income.”
