Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
One-sixth of India's landmass was cultivated grounds by 1600. Deforestation became extensive during the colonial reign. As early as 1600, about one-sixth of India's landmass was cultivated grounds. During the colonial period, the British cleared forests in India for their gains:
  • They wanted to meet England's growing demand for food grains and commercial crops.
  • They wanted timber for railway and shipbuilding projects.
  • They handed over large sections of forests to European planters who exploited them to make way for plantations.
