Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
For commercial purposes, a plantation was a large area where one kind of tree was planted in straight rows. The British government recruited men and women from forest communities in Assam, such as the Santhals and Oraons from Jharkhand, and the Gonds from Chhattisgarh, to work on tea plantations. Their salary was low, and their working conditions were terrible. They could not simply return to their native villages, where they had been recruited. The British government gave many European trading businesses exclusive rights to trade in forest products in specific areas. Many pastoralist and nomadic populations lost their livelihoods due to the process. Some were called "criminal tribes" and were compelled to work in factories, mines and plantations.
The correct statement would be A plantation was a large area where one kind of tree was planted in straight rows.
