2.Through the war years prices increased – doubling between 1913 and 1918 – leading to extreme hardship for
the common people.
3.Villages were called upon to supply soldiers, and the forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread anger.
4.Then in 1918-19 and 1920-21, crops failed in many parts of India, resulting in acute shortages of food.

perished as a result of famines and the epidemic.
