    (India and Contemporary World - I)

    Question 1:
    Explain why nomadic tribes need to move from one place to another. What are
    the advantages to the environment of this continuous movement?
    Answer 1:
    The nomadic tribes need to move from one place to another in search of new
    pastures. When the grass in a particular part is exhausted and the season becomes
    unconducive, the nomadic tribes move to some other area. The seasonal
    movement of nomadic tribes is beneficial for the environment. It allows natural
    re-growth of grass in the pastureland.

    Question 2:
    Discuss why the colonial government in India brought in the following laws. In
    each case, explain how the law changed the lives of pastoralists:
     Waste Land rules
     Forest Acts
     Criminal Tribes Act
     Grazing Tax

    Answer 2:
    Waste Land rules
    This law was brought to take control of the land which was not under cultivation.
    The surplus land could be used to increase the area under cultivation and also to
    increase land revenue. This Rule shrunk the pastureland which was earlier
    available.

    Forest Acts
    These Acts were introduced to gain control of those forests which had
    commercially important trees. Moreover, these acts were also utilised to collect
    some revenue from the pastoralists. The movement of pastoralists was severely
    restricted because of new Forest Acts. Instead of planning their movement
    according to the season, the pastoralists now had to move according to the new
    rules.

    1
    Criminal Tribes Act
    This Act was introduced to force the nomadic tribes to a settled life. It was
    difficult to collect taxes from the nomadic people because they did not have
    permanent address. This Act tarnished the image of nomadic tribes. This
    disturbed their relationship with peasants and other mainstream communities. It
    also badly affected their earnings.

    Grazing Tax
    Grazing Tax was introduced in order to widen the tax net. This tax put a new
    burden on the pastoralists.

    Question 3:
    Give reasons to explain why the Maasai community lost their grazing lands.
    Answer 3:
    The Maasailand was divided into British and German territories in 1885. The new
    international boundary restricted the movement of the Maasai community.
    Moreover, declaration of a vast tract of pastureland into game reserves also
    reduced the pastureland for Maasai.

    Question 4:
    There are many similarities in the way in which the modern world forced changes
    in the lives of pastoral communities in India and East Africa. Write about any two
    examples of changes which were similar for Indian pastoralists and the Maasai
    herders.
    Answer 4:
    Their traditional pasturelands were taken from them in the name of declaring
    certain areas as reserve forests. Second, they were forced out of many pastures in
    the name of expansion of cultivation.
