“Consider⟳ now the cultivators' perspective. The dilemma facing them is presented statistically in Table III.1 which shows the relationship between the rural population and land⟳ use⟳ in Bastar from 1931 to 1991. During this period the population trebled while the area under cultivation increased by only 80%. The period from 1931 to 1951 was a period of relative land⟳ surplus. As the population increased, the forest land⟳ was encroached upon. The period from 1951, by way of contrast, was one of relative land⟳ scarcity. Encroachable forest land⟳ became scarcer and the farm holdings per household became smaller as more people were forced to live⟳ on the same area of land⟳.”

'She can't encroach unless you're encroachable on.' So my hate⟳ and fear derive from my own⟳ insecurity. Which is? And how to combat it? (26 December 1958) WHAT DO I EXPECT⟳ BY 'LOVE⟳' FROM HER? WHAT IS IT I DON'T GET⟳ THAT MAKES ME CRY⟳? I think⟳ I have⟳ always felt she uses me as an extension of herself; that when I commit suicide, or try⟳ to, it is a 'shame' to her, an accusation: which it was, of course. (27 December 1958) One reason⟳ I could keep⟳ up such a satisfactory letter-relationship with her while in England was we could both verbalize our desired image of ourselves in relation to each other. (27 December 1958)”
