Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Maasai were a nomadic tribe of Africa. "Maasais" is derived from the Arabic phrase MA-SAI, which translates to "my people." The Maasai, also spelt Masai, are nomadic pastoralists from East Africa. The term "Maasai" refers to this Eastern Sudanic language of the Nilo-Saharan language family, commonly referred to as Maa. These include the semi-pastoral Arusha and Baraguyu (or Kwafi) of Tanzania, the pastoral Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania who dwells along the Great Rift Valley, the Samburu of Kenya, and the Maasai. Their primary sources of nutrition are meat and milk. Due to high temperatures and little rainfall, the environment is exceedingly hot, dry, and dusty.
Hence the correct statement would be, The Maasais were not generally monks in Asia.
