What are the similarities between Colonial management of the forests in Bastar and in Java?

Answer:

The similarities between management of the forest in Baster and in Java are; (a) In both cases, the forests came to be owned by the state and the villager's access to the forests was restricted. (b) In both countries, the colonial government placed restrictions on hunting, collection of forest produce and on shifting cultivation. (c) As in India, the need to manage forests for ship-building and railways led to the introduction of forest service in Java as well.
