Answer 1

In the views of imperialist, all uncultivated land seemed to be barren. It neither generates income nor agrarian product. Thus, it was comprehended as ‘wasteland’ which required to be brought under farming. From the middle of the 19th century, ‘Wasteland Rules’ were established in various parts of our nation.

Wasteland rules impacted pastoralists because they were required to take a permission for admission into the preserved forests. They can only stay there for stipulated periods. If they overstayed, penalties could be inflicted on them.

The Criminal Tribes Act stamped specific communities who were contrarily artisans, merchants, and pastoralists as offenders who could live only in designated villages.
