Question

Throughout the medieval period we notice that there was a gradual clearing of forests and the extension of agriculture in Indian Subcontinent. What could be the probable reasons for that? Do you think this influenced the life of some of the groups of people living in Indian Subcontinent? Discuss.​

Answer 1

Yes there is still gradual clearing of forests areas in our country. This because of the rising population and increase in demand of the population regarding various resources. Though the process of getting resources through clearing of forests is helping the people in the urban areas it is at. The same time affecting the people who live in the forests(AKA. Tribes). There are various tribes that have been disturbed because of the clearing of forests. Ex. Clearing of forests in Orissa for industrialisation has affected many tribes.
