People’s climate knowledge versus scientists’ climate knowledge
People's history of climate change
While social scientific studies have provided useful insights into the phenomenon of climate change, they, however, do not take a historical approach to the impacts of climate change, and people's perception of it. Historians have studied climate and its impact on the whole society but have neglected the everyday experiences and perceptions of climate change within a society such as ordinary people versus the elite perceptions, men versus women's…
The Forests and Railway Fuel Supply
A resolution of the Home Department, Government of India, noted the following on deforestation taking place in northern India: The attention of the Government has been directed to the partial denudation of trees that has of late years been taking place in some parts of the Upper Provinces and particularly in the tract known as the Doab, to meet the large demand of the East India Railway for wood-fuel. The consumption of wood has been, and is, goi…
Railways’ Sleeper Demand and Deforestation
The second half of the nineteenth century is often referred to as the period of high imperialism in colonial India. As suggested in the previous chapter, this period had at least two characteristics. First, trade became Britain's dominant mode of exploiting India's resources. Second, the colonial state increasingly became interventionist. It particularly intervened to create conditions for "economic development" in order to increase agricultural …

Railway fuel and its impact on the forests in colonial India
Recent studies have stressed the need for micro-histories of the environment so that important differences and similarities at local, regional and national level might be revealed. This paper analyses the process and patterns of environmental degradation at regional level by taking the case of deforestation in colonial Punjab by studying its implication at the level of empire. More specifically, it examines three aspects of how the operation and …
Colonialism and the Environment in India
Much of the deforestation seen in the Himalayas today can be traced back to the second half of the 19th century when railway construction began in colonial India. In this paper I argue that the construction and expansion of railways promoted by the British colonial state was designed to enable efficient resource extraction from India and that this process itself depleted India's natural resources such as forests. In analysing the temporal and spa…
Hugh Cleghorn and Forest Conservancy in India
This paper examines the important and pioneering role played by Dr. Hugh Cleghorn, a Scottish medical surgeon, in the implementation of forest conservancy in colonial India. I focus on three aspects of his contribution in India, which preceded forest conservancy in Britain itself. Firstly, I deal with the social and intellectual background of Cleghorn that greatly influenced his ideas on forests. Then I discuss Cleghorn's contribution to forest c…
