Скачать или смотреть MHI 08 - IGNOU : How the Industrial Revolution Transformed India’s Environment

The Industrial Revolution was a massive turning point in history, but it came with a heavy cost for India’s natural world. During the colonial era, the British shifted from a mindset of stewardship (caring for nature) to exploitation (using it for profit). This video explores how the drive for "progress" led to the massive clearing of forests for railway tracks and the construction of huge dams that disrupted river ecosystems.

We look at the impact of Commercial Farming, where farmers were forced to grow cash crops like indigo instead of food, leading to soil exhaustion and famine. You will also learn about the Indian Forest Act, which took control away from local communities to feed industrial greed. By understanding this history, we can see why sustainable development is so vital today. To build a greener future, we must first learn from the environmental mistakes of our past.
