What were the patterns in land ownership and land relations before the British rule and what far-reaching changes did they introduce, thereby destablising the entire Indian society and economy, examines S Raghavan.
The land question has become even more acute today with the Indian state officially sanctioning the land grab by monopolies and corporate houses to set up their SEZs. The struggle of the peasants in Singur, Raigarh, Navi Mumbai and other places against this robbery is reminiscent of the struggle of peasants against taxation and alienation from land before 1857, in the era of the East India Company, and after 1857, when India came under the direct rule of the British Crown.

Answer:
Changes in land ownership and control affected how crop failures impacted human lives. Before the British colonial period, Indian agriculture was dominated by subsistence farming organized in small village communities. The farmer usually only grew enough food to feed himself and the non-agricultural people of the village community. When his crop production exceeded consumption because of favorable climatic conditions, he stored the surplus for use in lean years. The storage of food grains constituted the only remedy against famines and other crises.
