Answer 2

It is true that, the British declared the forest were state property.

• During the British government, there was a group of shifting cultivators. This group had a tendency of frequently changing their place of cultivation.
• That's why, the British government felt lot of difficulties to control the administration process over this group of shifting cultivators.
• Britishers knew very well, that the life of these shifting cultivators was deeply related to the usage of forest resources.
• That's why, the British government increased the control over the forest land and declared that the forest were state property.
• In this way, the forest land usage was restricted by the shifting cultivators and they had to settle as peasant cultivators, which solved the problems of the administration of the British government.
