Back Questions - Pastoralists in the Modern World | India and the Contemporary World - I | Social Science | Class 9
Explain why nomadic tribes need to move from one place to another. What are the advantages to the environment of this continuous movement?
Nomadic tribes move from one place to another primarily due to the seasonal availability of resources like water and pasture for their livestock. This movement prevents the overuse of environmental resources in any single area.
Advantages to the environment include the prevention of overgrazing, which allows vegetation periods of recovery and regrowth. This rotational grazing also ensures the natural fertilization of soil through the dung and urine of animals. Moreover, this mobility helps maintain the balance of ecosystems by preventing one area from being excessively depleted, promoting biodiversity and the sustenance of various wildlife species dependent on those ecosystems for survival.
Discuss why the colonial government in India brought in the following laws. In each case, explain how the law changed the lives of pastoralists:
Waste Land rules
Forest Acts
Criminal Tribes Act
Grazing Tax
