The paper is an attempt to trace the background of the Colonial Forest Policies in the region of Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh was earlier a part of the undivided Punjab and named as Shimla Hills States. Britishers established their sway in the region in 1846 after the second Anglo Sikh War. It was the time when Railway was spreading its roots in all parts of the India. Moreover the forests of these Hills was well wooded and the contractors of Colonial Government found it easy to take the woods from these parts of the Hills thus they move towards these Hills which resulted in the erosion of the Hills. To regularize the forest policies in the region Forest Act of 1878 was firstly implemented in this part. On the other hand Gujjars is a tribal community of the region and cattle rearing is their main occupation. Thus this act affected this community in a great way. Trini was the grazing tax which was implemented in the Hills after this Act. The paper is based on the Wajib ul Arz (unpublished Village Record of Himachal Pradesh), settlement Reports, gazetteers and Forest Settlement reports.
