Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The growth of tea, rubber and coffee plantations led to deforestation in India. In European nations, there was significant demand for goods like tea, coffee, and rubber in the 19th century. Large plantations were needed for growing these crops. To establish plantations and meet the rising demand, the British government cleared significant areas of natural forests. European planters bought these deforested areas for low prices and planted tea, coffee, and rubber. As a result, India's forests were cleared due to rising European demand for tea, coffee, and rubber.
