Why would pastoralists' hardship be incompletely understood without studying land, forest and tax policies together?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because these policies jointly affected fodder, grazing routes, income and freedom of movement
Option A is correct. Colonial land policies converted many grazing areas into cultivated land or private property, forest laws restricted access to forests and grazing, and taxes increased the economic burden on pastoralists. Together, these measures disrupted fodder supply, traditional routes and seasonal migration. Options B and C are incorrect because land and forest policies directly affected pastoral life. Exam tip: link shrinking pastures, restricted movement and tax burden in your answer.
