Description
This study attempts to analyse the British Forest Policy from 1864 to 1947, in particular context of Assam. Situating the geography and history of the region, it traces the genesis and development of British forest policy. It also examines the socio-economic and environmental impact of the policy on the people as well as on the state as a whole. The book will be especially useful for historians, students, teachers, researchers, botanists, environ-mentalists and policy-makers.
