 This paper discusses how, through its colonial apparatus, British colonial administration introduced significant changes in resource use and management in tribal area of Jaunsar-Bawar in particular and in India in general, even at the local level for their essential and commercial use. Environmental historians have drawn our attention into those territorial zones and Jaunsar-Bawar is one of them, where autonomous tribal and other forest communities with a nominal feudal control over them were subsisting in primary symbiotic relationship with the nature. Now historians have started studying forest dwelling communities along with, Agropastoral communities, who were otherwise remained exclusive domain of study for Anthropologist. In a newly emerging discipline of ethno-history the tribal and agropastoral studies have received their due attention. This paper will address into these issues in case of Himalayan tribal area of Jaunsar-Bawar of Uttarakhand. This work attempts to revise the sources collected from the various records, reports, official or otherwise, which are collected from the National Archives and state archives. Help of reference books by the eminent scholars on the subject has been copiously taken.
