The article tries to understand how forest conservation in colonial Assam was used to facilitate British political administration in the region. It highlights on the Inner Line Forest Reserve situated in the frontier region of Lushai Hills and the Cachar district of the province that was established more with the purpose to protect the tea gardens of Cachar from Lushai raids than with any plans of forest conservation. ‘Inner Line’ was the name given to this buffer forest zone as it served the purposes of Inner Line Regulation than any conditions of colonial forest administration in India. The article has attempted to trace the background of Inner Line Regulation in the region and its implementation in the hill areas of the territory. It endeavours to understand why the application of colonial forest administration in Lushai Hills was kept at its minimum level. The article tries to comprehend that the creation of Inner Line Reserve was another British management mechanism to tackle the tribes of Lushai Hills.

“没有保护的森林保护”：阿萨姆殖民地内线保护区战略方面的研究

文章试图了解殖民地阿萨姆邦的森林保护如何被用来促进英国在该地区的政治管理。重点介绍了位于鹿寨山边境地区和该省卡恰尔区的内线森林保护区，该保护区的建立更多地是为了保护卡恰尔茶园免受卢氏袭击，而不是任何森林保护计划。“内线”是这个缓冲区森林区的名称，因为它比印度殖民地森林管理的任何条件更符合内线监管的目的。本文试图追溯该地区内线规制的背景及其在境内丘陵地区的实施。它试图理解为什么在卢晒山殖民地森林管理的应用保持在最低水平。文章试图理解，内线保护区的建立是另一种英国管理机制，以解决卢晒山部落的问题。
