*In the colonial period, cultivation expanded rapidly for a variety of reasons.

*First, the British directly encouraged the production of commercial crops like jute, sugar, wheat and cotton.

*The demand for these crops increased in nineteenth-century Europe where food grains were needed to feed the growing urban population and raw materials were required for industrial production.

*Second, in the early nineteenth century, the colonial state thought that forests were unproductive.

*They were considered to be wilderness that had to be brought under cultivation so that the land could yield agricultural products and revenue, and enhance the income of the state.
