QuestionHistory / colonial law

Which one of the following was NOT a feature of Criminal Tribes Act, 1871?

  1. (a) Communities of craftsmen, traders and pastoralists were classified as criminal tribes
  2. (b) The tribes were declared criminal on the basis of their profession
  3. (c) The notified criminal tribes were expected to live only in the notified village settlements
  4. (d) The criminal tribes were not allowed to move out without a permit

Answer: (b) The tribes were declared criminal on the basis of their profession

The Criminal Tribes Act, 1871 labelled whole communities as 'criminal by birth' (hereditary criminality), not by profession. Notified groups had to live in notified settlements and needed a pass to move. So (b) is not a feature.
