How did grazing tax put pastoral economy under cash pressure?

Correct answer: Regular cash payments had to be made for the right to graze animals

Under colonial rule, grazing tax imposed a cash payment for using grazing land. Since pastoralists often earned by selling animals, milk, wool, or other products, they had to raise cash to pay the tax, increasing the cost of their livelihood. The tax did not provide free fodder or unrestricted access to all pastures. Exam tip: link such taxes with higher livelihood costs and the need to earn cash.
