How should the relation between law, labour and resistance in Java be best understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forest laws restricted villagers’ forest rights and imposed unpaid or compulsory labour, leading to local resistance

In Java, Dutch colonial forest laws increased state control over forest land and timber. Villagers’ customary forest rights were curtailed, and many were required to provide compulsory or unpaid labour for the forest department. These measures produced local opposition, including movements associated with Samin. Option B is the closest distractor, but it is wrong because the laws restricted rather than expanded villagers’ rights. Exam tip: remember forest law, compulsory labour, and local resistance as a cause-and-effect chain.
