Overview

India's Forests aims to explore the history of Indian forests in a new way. It is a result of several years of deliberations on how to think about the Indian forests from a historical perspective. It revisits more than the question of the role of forests in India's long history. It seeks to bring to light new insights on how changes in society, culture, and polity have reshaped forests and continue to do so.
