• The First World War ushered in a new era of politics and economics. It resulted in a significant rise in defence spending, which was paid for by war loans and rising taxes, including higher customs fees and the introduction of an income tax.
• Prices doubled between 1913 and 1918 as a result of the war, causing significant hardship for the general populace.
• Soldiers were needed from villages, and the forced recruitment of people in rural regions sparked intense resentment.
• Then, in 1918–19 and 1920–21, crops in many areas of India failed, leading to severe food shortages. There was also an influenza pandemic at the same time.
