The British colonial rule brought about vast changes in the life of pastoralists, who earned their livelihood tending to sheep and cattle.
Where they could graze their animals freely, the British brought in taxes and laws, curtailing their movements and grazing grounds drastically. The steep taxes imposed on them were a burden.
The British wanted to turn pastures and fields into farmland, which would fetch them more revenue.
