(ii) Through Forest Acts, some forests which produced commercially valuable timber like deodar or sal, were declared ‘Reserved’. No pastoralist was allowed to enter these forests. The colonisers beiieved that grazing destroyed the saplings and young shoots of trees that germinated on the forest floor.
(iii) The colonisers wanted nomadic tribes to live in villages, in fixed places with fixed rights. Those who were settled were seen as peaceable and law abiding.
(iv) Pastoralists had to pay tax on every animal they grazed on the pastures. In most pastoral tracts of india, grazing tax was introduced in the mid-19th century. This tax per head of cattle went up rapidly and the system of collection was made more efficient.

There are three different sources from where a plant gets the 16 essential nutrients: air, water and soil (see Table 1.2). The nutrients taken from air and water are carbon, oxygen and hydrogen and these are taken by stomata (of leaf), lenticel (of stem) and root-hairs (of roots). Rest 13 nutrientsRead more
