    i) Both the British in Bastar, India and the Dutch in Java, Indonesia started colonial forest management to obtain timber for shipbuilding. ii) Villagers in both regions were forced to leave forest areas and move elsewhere, and some communities rebelled against being displaced but their uprisings were crushed by colonial governments. iii) The colonial practices of both the British and Dutch, including demands for free labor from forest villagers, were very similar in their exploitation of resources and displacement of local populations.

    A) i) In both cases, they started forest management. ii) The British wanted timber from Bastar to build ships.

    Like the British, the Dutch wanted timber to build ships. iii) From Bastar many communities were forced to leave their old regions and forest areas. In Java, also many villagers were forced to leave the fertile forests and move to the mountains and gave up practicing shifting agriculture. iv) In some forests and areas of Java the people of several communities raised the banner of rebellion as the same was done by different people of Bastar in India, but colonial government in Java as well as Bastar were successful in crushing the rebellions The similarities between colonial management of the forests in Bastar and in Java are many. The Dutch started colonial forest management in Java just as the British had done in India, for timber. The villagers in Bastar were allowed to stay on in reserved forests if they provided free labour for timber firms; likewise, the blandongdiensten system in Java demanded free labour from forest villagers for cutting and transporting wood. Just as the Kalangs uprising in Java was quelled in 1770, the Bastar residents revolt was also suppressed by the British, in 1910.
