• In 1871, the colonial government in India passed the Criminal Tribes Act. By this Act many communities of craftsmen, traders and pastoralists were classified as Criminal Tribes, their mobility was restricted.
• Since they were nomadic who moved from place to place they were considered as criminals by birth and nature and a close watch was kept on them.
• They had to live in a notified village area.
• Their mobility was restricted, they could not move without permission.
• Such an could not be justified on moral grounds s it effected the livelihood of the pastoralits.
• It resulted in the loss of their customary rights.
• These groups thus had to look for alternative jobs
• It was certainly an attack on their age old traditional practise,
