During the nineteenth century, colonialism was underway and the amount of forest land started to shrink in east India. The British instructed landowners to levy a tax on native communities and urged local communities to prepare the land for cultivation by clearing forests. When the forests were cleared, villages sprang up which meant more revenue could be collected.
