POSTCOLINIALISM REFERANCE :- 

[Chipko Movement] is one of the evident example. Power dynamics works as the undercurrent of colonizing the land and other bodies of ecology. The word, legitimization is interesting to read. Bureaucrats and officials legitimize their policies through advertisements, and highlighting the numbers of beneficiaries from various schemes.

The Chipko movement in India, for example, which is largely organized by women, has been traced back directly by Vandana Siva to beginnings initiated by Mira Behn, one of the closest to Gandhi. Shiva has argued that national colonization brought with it a colonization of living natural resources such as the forests.
