Detailed Solution

The 1/6 of India's landmass was under cultivation in 1600 AD.
Approximately one-sixth of India's area was devoted to agriculture in 1600. However, the requirement for agriculture has significantly increased due to recent population growth. As a result, additional land was converted to agriculture. Moreover, half of India's land area is now under development. As a result, woodlands have been rapidly losing their variety. Between 1700 and 1995, the time of industrialization, 13.9 million square kilometres of forest were removed for everyday uses, development, farming, and fuelwood. So this represents 9.3% of the planet's total land area.
