Answer 1

The Criminal Tribes Act was a series of laws passed by British rulers in India that notified several tribes as criminal by nature. It was first enacted during 1871. It affected the lives of pastoralists as they were forced to work in factories, mines and plantations under government supervision. Restrictions were imposed on their movements and adult males had to report to the police weekly.
