discuss how the life of pastoralists changed dramatically under the colonial rule?
Answers
The colonial rulers wanted to transform all grazing lands into cultivated farms.This was necessary to increase land revenue.
Along with this increasing the cultivated land was necessary for increasing the production of jute, cotton and wheat which were required in England.
Waste Land Rules were enacted in different parts of the country from the mid-nineteenth century. Under these rules, uncultivated lands were taken over and given to select individuals.
These individuals were encouraged to settle on these lands and were granted various concessions. Some of them were made headmen of villages in the newly cleared areas.
The expansion of cultivated land resulted in significant reduction in grazing grounds. This created huge problem for the pastoralists.
