Question
Explain why nomadic people need to move from one area to another.OR
Why do nomadic people follow a cycle of seasonal movement?
✓

Answer

Nomadic people need to move from one area to another because of the following reasons:
  1. The climate of one area does not remain favourable or suitable throughout the year. So far it is suitable for them and their cattle, they live in that area but leave it soon when it becomes unfavourable.
  2. By making movements they make the most effective use of the available pastures in different areas.
  3. Their movement also enables them to grow seasonal crops. For instance, the Dhangars of Maharashtra grow bajra, a dry crop, in the semi-arid region with low rainfall and poor soil.
