Abstract
This chapter discusses the growing conflict between people and national park administrations using the example of the Van Gujjars, a people of transhumant buffalo herders. In 1992, after returning from their summer pastures in the higher ranges of the Himalayas, the Van Gujjars were denied entrance to parts of their winter quarters in the Shivalik forest in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which had been proclaimed a national park in 1983. This was the beginning of an open conflict, which has given the ‘victims of conservation’ a human face among the Indian public.
