Why did giving grazing tax collection to contractors increase pastoralists' difficulties?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Contractors tried to collect as much tax as possible

When tax collection was given to contractors, the contractors generally had a financial reason to collect as much as possible. Their earnings could depend on the amount they recovered, so they might demand high payments, use pressure, or show little concern for the pastoralists’ ability to pay. This made access to grazing land more costly and uncertain.

Option A is correct because profit-seeking contractors could make tax collection harsh. The arrangement did not provide free fodder or open forests, and contractors could not simply reduce the number of animals as stated in option D. The broader lesson is that a tax system managed for revenue could increase economic exploitation. Pastoralists faced both restrictions on grazing and additional financial burdens.
