What was the basic conflict between colonial forest control and local use based on?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Revenue from forest resources versus the livelihood rights of local people

The colonial government sought to control forests for timber, railway sleepers and other commercial resources that generated revenue. Local communities depended on the same forests for fuel, fodder, grazing, shifting cultivation and forest produce. Therefore, the central conflict was between revenue-oriented state control and local livelihood rights. Religious festivals and the height of trees were not the core issues. Exam tip: include both ‘revenue’ and ‘livelihood rights’ in your answer.
