➧ The causes of deforestation in India during British rule were:-
==============================

❱ Increase in population, leading to growth in demand for food, and extension of land under cultivation at the expense of forests.

❱ Colonisation by the British encouraged production of commercial crops.

❱ Increased demand for timber due to expansion of railways and for ship building purposes.

❱ Large areas of forests were also cleared to make way for plantation crops.
