Hiii there....
Here is your answer

Shifting cultivation made it harder for the government to caluculate taxes so British government decided to ban shifting cultivation.

As a result, many communities were forcibly displaced from their homes in forest.

Some had to change occupations, while some resisted through large and small rebellions.

Britishers tried to stop shifting cultivation because the foresters regarded this practice as harmful for the forest.

They felt that land which was used for cultivation every few years could not grow trees for railway timber.

When the forest was burnt, there was the added danger of the flames spreading and burning valuable timber.

Shifting cultivation also made it harder for the government to calculate taxes.
