Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The British extended their control over all forests and declared that forests were state property. The forest played an important role in tribal groups' daily lives. Therefore, changes in forest laws had a big impact on tribal life. All forests came under British control, and they were declared public property. Some forests were designated Reserved Forests because they provided the British with the timber they needed. People were not permitted to move around freely, engage in jhum cultivation, gather fruits, or engage in animal hunting within these forests. Jhum farmers saw it as a threat to their employment and tradition. As a result, many people were compelled to relocate in search of employment and a means of subsistence.
