摘要

由于其在传统文明中的生态、文化和精神价值，圣林自古以来对森林和生物多样性的保护至关重要。这些地方有着悠久的仪式、礼仪和习俗，代表着人类与环境之间的平衡关系，是过去和现在社区之间的重要纽带。然而，由于欧洲殖民主义的持续影响，根据印度的森林规则，资源开采优先于土著人民对其森林的权利。这导致了严重的环境破坏和传统森林管理技术的边缘化。本研究采用定性历史研究方法，从一系列二手资料中得出结论，批判性地调查了印度森林法规如何影响传统管理方法，并特别强调了圣林。

Examining the Impact of Forest Policies on Sacred Groves in India: A Historical Review

Owing to their ecological, cultural and spiritual value in traditional civilisations, Sacred Groves have been vital to forest and biodiversity protection since ancient times. With their long-standing rituals, rites and customs, these places represent a balanced relationship between humans and the environment and act as essential linkages between communities of the past and present. However, as a result of the continuing repercussions of European colonialism, extraction of resources was given priority over the rights of Indigenous people to their forests under India’s forest rules. This led to serious environmental damage and the marginalisation of traditional forest management techniques. Utilising a qualitative, historical research approach and drawing conclusions from a range of secondary sources, this study critically investigates how Indian forest regulations have impacted traditional management methods, with a particular emphasis on Sacred Groves.

期刊介绍： History and Sociology of South Asia provides a forum for scholarly interrogations of significant moments in the transformation of the social, economic and political fabric of South Asian societies. Thus the journal advisedly presents an interdisciplinary space in which contemporary ideas compete, and critiques of existing perspectives are encouraged. The interdisciplinary focus of the journal enables it to incorporate diverse areas of research, including political economy, social ecology, and issues of minority rights, gender, and the role of law in development. History and Sociology of South Asia also promotes dialogue on socio-political problems, from which academicians as well as activists and advocacy groups can benefit.
