Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Several laws introduced by the colonial government in India changed the lives of pastoralists. Since the mid-19th century, Wasteland rules have been enacted in various parts of the country. Under these rules, the wasteland was given to selected individuals. Other forests have been classified as "protected". In 1871, the colonial government of India passed the "Crime Tribes Act". Under this law, many communities of artisans, traders, and breeders are classified as criminals. They were declared criminals by nature and by birth. These communities could only live in the notified village settlements when this law came into force. Thus, several rules of the colonial government changed the lives of pastoralists.
