Question

औपनिवेशिक सरकार के द्वारा मुखिया क्यों नियुक्त किए जाते थे वे किस प्रकार का जीवन बिताते थे?

Answer 1

Answer:

The colonial government appointed chiefs of different sub-groups of Maasai who were made responsible for the affairs of the tribe. These chiefs often accumulated wealth overtime. They had a regular income with which they could buy animals, goods and land. They lent money to poor neighbours who needed cash to pay taxes. Many of the chiefs began living in towns and started trade. They managed to survive the devastations of war and drought. They had both pastoral and non-pastoral income and could buy animals when their stock was depleted.
