Abstract
Forest fire distribution, severity and consequences are closely linked to modern human activities. Fire events are major cause of change in forest structure and function, challenging the supply of ecosystem goods and services.
People (tribes) should develop along the lines of their own genius and we should avoid imposing anything on them. We should try to encourage in every way their own traditional arts and culture.
—Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru (1958)
