The process of deforestation began many centuries ago; but under colonial rule it became more systematic and extensive. In the colonial period, cultivation expanded rapidly for a variety of reasons:
1.With the increased demand for production of commercial crops like jute, sugar, wheat and cotton in the nineteenth-century Europe, the British encouraged use of land in their own ways.
2. In the early nineteenth century, the colonial state thought that forests were unproductive. They believed in cultivation that could yield agricultural products and revenue, and enhance the income of the state and so there began a massive deforestation in the name of systematic cultivation.
3. To fulfil the requirement of timber in England, extensive deforestation took place in India.
