In this episode of "Nature Talk," host Sandeep Shah and guest Dr. Arjun Sengupta explore the colonial forest policies in India and their lasting impacts on the country's ecology and society. Delving into the historical context, they examine the motives behind British legislation, such as the Forest Acts of 1865 and 1878, and their effects on traditional forest management practices and local communities. The discussion also touches on the economic exploitation of forests for infrastructure development, the ecological and social consequences of deforestation, and the resistance movements advocating for conservation. This episode offers a profound look at how colonial policies continue to influence contemporary environmental challenges.
