Hi.......
The forest act meant severe hardship for villagers across the country.After the act,all their everyday practices-cuttingwood for their houses,grazing their cattle,collecting fruits and roots,hunting and fishing became illegal.People were now forced to steal wood from the forests,and if they were caught they were at the mercy of the forest guards who would take bribes from them.Women who collected fuel wood were especially worried.It was also common for police conistables and forest guards to harass people by demanding free food from them.
