Answer 2

Five ways in which the lives of the villagers were affected by Forest Acts are:

1. Taxes- The British government started imposing heavy taxes on the forest people.

2. Loss of livelihood- The Europeans started giving large European farms to trade in forest products. Grazing and hunting were restricted. In the process many pastoralists and nomadic communities lost their livelihood.

3. Displacement of people- Many people were forcibly displaced from their homes in forests. Some had to change occupations while others organised large and small rebellions.

4. Shifting cultivation- Shifting cultivation, a common practice among forest people, was banned because Europeans regarded this as harmful for forests.

5. People were harassed- People were now forced to steal wood and if caught, were at the mercy of forest guards who asked for bribes. Women who collected forest wood were especially harassed by guards.
