Answer 2

Answer:

The Mutiny of 1857 had diverse political, economic, military, religious and social causes. The main economic causes are:

Economic Factors (Economic Causes of Revolt of 1857):

1. This was a vital factor as it affected a large section of Indian society. Ever since the grant of Diwani was made to the British in 1765, land revenue became an issue of much burden. British Government had imposed ‘pocket area transformation’, that means, introduction of Permanent Settlement in Bengal, Mahalwari settlement in Central India, and Ryotwari settlement in southern India.

2. These three settlements were highly exploitative, and in particular, the Permanent settlement had created a devastating impact.

3. But the high rates of land revenue, ruined the prospects of Indian peasantry. Thus the peasants were greatly encouraged to overthrow the British Government from India. The ‘Drain of Wealth’ impoverished peasants and they thus participated actively in the revolt of 1857.
