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.
