Detailed Solution

The above statement is True. The British put a stop to shifting cultivation, hunting and the collection of forest produce, which affected the people of Bastar.
The people of Bastar were highly concerned when the colonial authorities sought to reserve two-thirds of the forest in 1905 and to halt shifting cultivation, hunting, and gathering of forest produce. On the condition that they cut, transported, and prevented forest fires for the forest service, certain settlements were permitted to continue to exist in the restricted forests. These were subsequently referred to as "forest settlements." Other village residents were uprooted without warning or any compensation.
