Answer 1

Answer:

1-Three major systems of land revenue collection existed in India. They were – Zaminidari, Ryotwari and Mahalwari.(Ans2)-The stability of the government was also determined by finance and military. The kings were required to keep them under their control. So the taxation was the most important and legitimate source to acquire revenue for the state.(Ans3)-The Zamindars became the intermediaries between the cultivators and the State. But with the passage of time, the Zamindari settlements made these intermediaries the owners of land thereby creating a permanent interest in land. Zamindari settlements were of two types.(Ans4)-Farmers are being shunned by banks as lenders turn cautious due to rising bad loans. ... That is forcing them to turn to illegal moneylenders who are charging increasingly exorbitant rates, according to over a dozen farmers and bankers that Reuters spoke to.(Ans5)-The situation of the villages before the arrival of British people was very pathetic. They didn't have enough income and used to pay half of the amount of their income in the form of taxes and were suffering from severe poverty.
