The British enacted laws to exploit the forest resources in India. The tribals rebelled against the British at many places because:
1. Tribals depended on the forests for their livelihood, for example they made bamboo products. Forest laws restricted their earnings.
2. In some places tribals were evacuated or forced to leave the place in and around the forest where they lived.
3. British allowed commercialization of the forests.
4. Their traditional practice of jhum cultivation was forcefully stopped.
