In the year 1885, Indian National Congress waged war against the Permanent settlement policy of Lord Cornwallis.

The permanent settlement policy was highly unjust and exploited Indian farmers by charging high taxes for their land.

This taxation system could not survive for long and was met by strong revolts in eastern parts of the country.

In 1885, the Indian National Congress waged war against the permanent settlement policy of Lord Cornwallis.  

Explanation:

  • According to the policy, rajas and taluqdars were recognised as zamindars who were responsible for collecting taxes from peasants followed by passing them to the company.
  • The revenue demand was permanently fixed. This was successful in creating a subdivision of Indian class who supported British authority. This policy charged high revenue for their land thereby exploiting Indian farmers.
  • However, this process could last for many more years because of strong opposition and revolts against it in the eastern parts.
