      How were the Maasais restricted to a confined area by the colonial people?

    Answer:

                      (i) Maasais were bound to a fixed area, confined within a reserve and prohibited from moving in search of pastures. (ii) They were not allowed to the best grazing lands and were forced to live in semi-arid regions that were prone to frequent droughts. (iii) As a result, a large number of Maasai cattle died of starvation and diseases during the drought years. The frequent bad years led to a steady decline of the livestock of pastoralists.
