ABSTRACT

Provisional Title

Environmental evidence of colonial India

Although colonial rule throughout the world was accompanied and supported by
exploitation of forests and environmental destruction, independence has not put a stop
anywhere to these processes. Rather, the disruption of the relationship between local
societies and their natural resource bases has continued in the worldwide movement
towards modernisation. Instead of contrasting this situation with a mythical golden age
of equilibrium between society and nature, what is needed is a radical critique of
capitalist expansionism, of which the colonisation of nature has been one of the major
objectives.

In this research paper, The student researcher will look into the historical aspects of
environmental evidence of colonial india. Researcher will also try to provide a deep
study regarding environment sources of that time with the help of books and articles by
different authors and experts
