Forest Society and Colonialism - Lecture 4 Video Lecture - Class 9

hello screens let us continue our last
part of the chapter for society and
colonialism now we take the example of
another country now which is Indonesia
the forest transformation in Java this
country Java or the Java Island is in
Indonesia
controlled by or was a colony of Dutch
which means the Holland and Zeeland like
brittish's they wanted timber the same
thing as I said in India which has come
for raw and market
similarly here also the Britishers came
for the Dutch came for these two things
they wanted timber from Java and to
build ship
if you see the population of Java in the
year 1600 and it was just 3.4 million
and they were many villages in the
fertile plain also but the maximum
populations were also found out the
communities were living in mountains and
practicing shifting cultivation
you
the woodcutters of java
kelan's were the communities which is
found in Java which is a skilled
community very famous community a tribal
community which is skilled for cutting
woods and also they were doing shifting
cultivation
when these that is make Java as their
colony in the 18th century
you
these does try to make the Cullens work
under them but this committee doesn't
accept this thing even they do revolt in
the Year 1700 and attacking
the Dutch fort at Genoa but as usual
this uprising was suppressed by this by
the European countries because they have
much latest technology new weapons and a
man in an army in a totally mannered
manner
the Dutch scientific forestry
I was like in India by the Britishers
the debtors also in a dead forest low in
Java restricting village access to
forest now wood could only be cut cause
the areas of specified
which the villages can use for cutting
and if the villages were found
that they are grazing cattle in young
stands transporting good without their
permission or traveling on forest road
with their host cards or cattle
etceteras then they were punished by the
Dutch government
Carroll so the Gracchi imposed rent on
cultivation
they also Bend the second cultivation
and those who doesn't follow their rules
and aggression they can leave the forest
ages and those who want to stay there
they have to do a free labor also for
them known as
a work done without any kind of wages
means Vega
you
blendin dine still as I said that the
Dutch impose rent on land being
cultivated in the forest and then
exempted some village from the rent on
land if they work collectively to
provide free labor means the bigger and
also provide them buffaloes for cutting
and transporting timbers which help the
Duchess for their trade this thing is
known as blank give blend um this thing
it's Indonesian word I cannot pronounce
it properly but the spelling is this one
you
and I'm 1819 Sorrentino salmon's of
random latin village which is a deep
forest village he begin questioning
the state ownership of the forest means
the rebel was initiated by salmon
he argued the state that the state had
not created the wind water earth wood
etc so it could not own it
soon a widespread movement was developed
by the salmon amongst those who had
organized it was Simon's son in-laws
a non-indian 870,000 families were
following his ideas some of the Salmons
protested by laying down on the on their
land when the ditch came to survey the
forest areas while other refused to pay
hex or fine or perform labor so this is
how these followers of the Salmons show
their aggressions and durable against
the Dutch government
Warren deforestation
the First World War and the Second World
War had a major impact on forests in
India working plants were abundant at
this time of the sleep
you
the forest department cut a lot of trees
freely to meet the British wasps needs
because a tech templates and it's a lot
of timber the same in Java also by the
Dutch we see the destroy sawmills and
burn piles of ganti so that they would
not fall into Japanese hands for this
purpose also they cut a lot of keys
you
the when Japan can explain Japan had a
control on Java during the Second World
War he Japan exploited the forest
recklessly for their own war industries
forcing forest villages to cut down on
of course forests this is how we see a
lot of deforestation during the war
period on other hand we also see that
you
that the many will just used this
opportunity to expand their cultivation
in the forest areas and after the war it
was difficult for the Indonesian Forest
Service to get this land back from these
villages
we also seen the new development indeed
forestry
you
the conservation of forests rather than
collecting timber has become more
important goal for the Venetian
government
you
the government has recognized that in
order to meet this goal that the
conservation of forests the people who
live near the forest areas must be
involved in it
you
in many cases across India also like
from with majorem to South Kerala dense
forest was arrived only because village
protected them in sacred grows with like
known as the sirnas they ora koutou can
dry etc some bridges have been
patrolling their own forest and with
each household taking it terms instead
of leaving it to the forest card this is
what we see in the indian areas also
you
today the local force communities of
India and the environment list also they
are thinking a lot for different forms
of forest management and forest
conservation so student this is how we
