      How did drought affect the life of pastoralists?  

    Answer:

                      Various Forest Acts were introduced to restrict the movements of the nomads. They were prevented from entering many forests. Even if they were allowed, their movements were regulated. They were cut off from the best grazing lands and forced to live within a semi-arid tract prone to frequent droughts. Since lots of restrictions were imposed on their movement, so they could not move to places where pastures were available. Due to this, there was shortage of fodder. For example, A large number of Maasai cattle died of starvation. As the area of grazing lands shrank, the adverse effect of the droughts increased in intensity.
