Answer 1

Answer:

They replaced

the wasteful warlord aristocracy by a bureaucratic-military establishment, carefully designed by

utilitarian technocrats, which was very efficient in maintaining law and order. The greater efficiency

of government permitted a substantial reduction in the fiscal burden, and a bigger share of the

national product was available for landlords, capitalists and the new professional classes. Some of

this upper class income was siphoned off to the UK, but the bulk was spent in India. However, the

pattern of consumption changed as the new upper class no longer kept harems and palaces, nor did

they wear fine muslins and damascened swords. This caused some painful readjustments in the

traditional handicraft sector. It seems likely that there was some increase in productive investment

which must have been near zero in Moghul India: government itself carried out productive

investment in railways and irrigation and as a result there was a growth in both agricultural and

industrial output.
