Read the passage given below:
The Bandipur Forest fire, the 2016 Uttarakhand forest fire and many such cases are
believed to be man-made disasters. This gives birth to an endless blame game
between the government and the local population. Tribals depend mainly on the forest
for their livelihood. As per reports, over 60% of the rural communities depend on the
forest directly - for both timber and non-timber forest produce.
Some of the cultivation practices, in particular shifting cultivation practiced mostly in
the North-eastern parts of India, are under immense scrutiny, since it is believed to be
extremely detrimental to forest cover. Before 1865. forest dwellers could utilise all of
the forest resources without any restriction, however, the British Rulers in August
1865 introduced various guidelines restricting such unsupervised use of forest
resources, based on the report by the then Superintendent of forests in Burma. The
National Forest Policy of Government of India, 1952 is the extension of the same
1865 act, which states that the claims of the communities residing near forests should
not override national interest. This was done in order to protect the forests from
ncessant exploitation; thus, cultivation and other related activities were allowed onl
n unclassified forest land.​
