Question

Give any two grievances of the peasantry against the british

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Grievances of the peasants against the British:

   Land taxes were raised by the British government in India. For example, the land revenues in Bengal were raised considerably by the British. Not even a part of this revenue was spent on the development of agriculture or on the welfare of the cultivator. As a result the peasants were forced to sell their land as they were not able to pay the increased land revenues. This pushed peasants into indebtedness.

   Due to the British administrative policies and climatic uncertainties, many famines broke out in the British period. The British gave no respite to the farmers even during famines. This further deteriorated the condition of Indian peasantry.
