There are many similarities between colonial management of the forests in Bastar and in Java. Only difference being that in case of India, it were the British and in case of  Java , it were the Dutch.

The similarities are :

Use of scientific forestryexploitation of the forest for commercial purposesThe communities in both the cases : Kalangs in Java and Gonds and Dhurvas in Bastar ,were shifting cultivators.Forest laws weaned the forests communities from the forests and forbidden from its use.Rents were imposed on the people for grazing their animalsIn both the cases, conflicts broke out.
