Although British took down india’s trees and used Indians to mine coal for them, India lost their water level and worked for British and not get anything in return. The tree movement was the British taking down trees, which left India in danger. The British did this so they would have more room for cash crops which meant more money. Taking down the trees degraded India’s soil and dropped there water lever down, and water was important for their hot region (lalvani). Taking down the trees hurt the Indians and the British were wrong for doing it. The mining industry only helped the British because Britain gained 16 million tons of coal but it went straight to their trains which trains took the Indians raw materials and was taken out of India
