in Indian forest act forests are divided into three categories
1) reserved forest .where the best wood for timber and other purposes are found and villagers or local peoples are not allowed to get anything from this forests. 2) protected forests. where non - commercial Wood are found and villagers or local peoples are allowed to get Wood from this forests but under restrictions 3) village forests. these were open for local or tribal peoples. villagers or local peoples are depend on forests for everything but when Indian forest act was enacted to conserve forest it effects the life of local peoples very deeply : many of the local peoples change their occupation, many leave village to found any respectable work, many are not able to complete their families requirement

here is your answer

basic means of livelihood of the forest dwelling tribes were banned by the British .the daily practices of villagers such as cutting wood, grazing cattle ,collecting fruits and roots were banned and made illegal.

shifting cultivation was an agricultural system in which plots of land were cultivated , temporarily and then abandoned.

shifting cultivation was banned by British as la d became useless for growing timber ,led to forest fires and also resulted in soil erosion .

while the indian forest act was passed as a boon to the British ,it proved to be a bane for the forest dwellers

hope it helps you
