- European foresters regarded shifting cultivation was harmful for forests.
- They felt that land which was used for cultivation every few years could not grow trees for railway timber.
- When a forest was burnt, there was added danger of the flames spreading and burning valueable timber.
- It made is harder for the government to calculate taxes.
So government decided to ban the shifting cultivation. As a result, many communities were forcibly displaced from their homes in the forests.So had to change occupations, while some resisted through large and small scale rebellions.
