Solution

1. By the Grazing act, the British levied tax on the Pastoralists who had to pay tax on every animal they grazed on the pastures.

2. They hated this act as it was against their customary rights.

3.It imposed an additional burden on the poor pastoralists.

4. It had an adverse impact on their economic status, who then started selling their animals and some also took loans from moneylenders.

5.By the 1880s the government began collecting taxes directly from the pastoralists. Each of them was given a pass. To enter a grazing tract, a cattle herder had to show the pass and pay the tax.
