Question

how did the forest law affect the occupation of tribal people ? explain

Answer 1

Hi,

Tribal people usually survived by gathering fruits and berries from forests. Also did they hunt animals in the forests for food. With the forests declared to reserved and protected, their entry to the forests were stopped. Thus, their source of survival was cut. Moreover, many even practised shifting cultivation which was also banned. Thus disrupting all means of work practised by the tribals.
