What was the biggest social result of the 1878 forest classification?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Local people's access and rights were restricted according to the forest category

Under the Indian Forest Act of 1878, forests were classified as reserved, protected and village forests. The major social effect was that customary local rights—such as grazing, collecting fuelwood, hunting and shifting cultivation—were reduced or regulated according to the forest category. Restrictions were strongest in reserved forests, so option B is incorrect. Exam tip: remember that reserved forests involved the strictest limits on local rights.
