Explain five causes of Nandi resistance

Here are five causes of Nandi resistance:

1. Land Alienation: The British desired Nandi land for European settlement and for the construction of the Uganda Railway, leading to forced displacement and loss of ancestral lands for the Nandi.
2. Disruption of Traditional Economy: The British interfered with the Nandi's traditional economic practices, particularly their cattle raiding, which was a vital part of their culture and livelihood.
3. Cultural Interference: British attempts to impose their administrative structures, laws, and Christian missionaries challenged the Nandi's traditional political, social, and religious institutions, including the authority of the Orkoiyot (spiritual leader).
4. Imposition of Taxes and Forced Labor: The British introduced taxes, such as the hut tax, and demanded forced labor from the Nandi, which were seen as oppressive and exploitative.
5. Desire for Independence: The Nandi fiercely valued their independence and sovereignty. They resisted any attempts by external powers to control their territory or dictate their way of life.
