Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The British introduced wasteland rules to earn extra income. Therefore, the British converted the wasteland into arable land. This affected the lives of pastors because they could not move where they wanted to. They cannot enter the land intended for farming. Plus, they also have to pay taxes to enter their grazing land. “Wasteland Rules” were enacted in various parts of our country in the mid-19th century.
