Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The spread of railways in colonial India had created a new demand for Timber. During the 19th Century, there was a lack of oak trees in England, so they started searching for Oak trees in India.

The Indian forest was widely cut down, and as a result, many of the Indian forests in India vanished.
