With the introduction of revenue settlements which were quite high the peasants were exploited and evicted from there land if they can't give the revenue and others were forced to only grow crops which were needed by the British and were borrowed in very low prices.
>> The tribals were adversely affected too.They had to follow the laws of British, losing their independence
- Most forests were declared reserved. They had to migrate to other places.
- They had to search for livelihood. Their self sufficient lifestyle was destroyed. They had to lose control over forests, their traditional lands and lifestyle.
- Many were recruited to work in far away places (assam plantations and coal mines etc.)
>> Already over-burdened with taxations and revenues, natural calamities, long loans, the peasants led a life of poverty, indebtedness and discontment. The self sufficient economy of rural masses was completely destroyed under British agrarian policies.
Thus in this ways were the British agrarian and tribal policies responsible for widespread discontentment in India.
