Detailed Solution

The Criminal Act was that many pastoral communities were classified as Criminal Tribes.
The colonial government of the nineteenth century passed the Criminal Tribes Act, which regarded pastoralists as criminals. The colonial authority imposed restrictions on the nomads' freedom of movement because it thought it was hard to recognize roving populations. They saw it as simple to govern established rural populations with fixed land and fixed rights. Peaceful and law-abiding people made up the settled population. The British, who sought to dominate the resources for more profit, did not like these people's distinctive living and feeding practices. The Criminal Tribes legislation was passed due to the growing mistrust surrounding migratory groups.
