Why did Bastar people fight for forests instead of leaving them?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forests were the basis of their livelihood, culture and security

For the people of Bastar, forests were not merely areas with trees. They provided food, fuel, fodder, timber, hunting grounds and other forest produce, while customs and community life were also closely linked to them. Colonial forest laws restricted their traditional rights and livelihoods, so they resisted rather than abandoning the forests. Option D is incorrect because British control imposed restrictions instead of allowing free use. Exam tip: For the Bastar rebellion, mention livelihood, traditional rights and culture.
