From the mid- nineteenth century, Waste Land Rules were enacted in various
parts of the country.
According to the Waste land Rule, uncultivated lands were taken over and given
to select individuals.
The individual was granted various concessions and was encouraged to settle
these lands.
In most areas the lands taken over were grazing tracts used regularly by
pastoralists. Expansion of cultivation meant the decline of pastures and a problem for
pastoralists.
No pastoralists were allowed in the forests that were declared ‘reserved’; and in
others some customary grazing rights were granted with severely restricted
movements.
The colonial officials believed that grazing destroyed the saplings and young
shoots of trees.
The pastoralists could no longer remain in an area even if the area is rich of all
the resources.
This is enough
