The main causes of India’s agricultural stagnation during the colonial period were:
(i) Land revenue system:
According to zamindari system, the Zameen Das were recognised as permanent owners of the land. The profit accruing out of the agricultural sector went to the zamindars instead of cultivators however, Both zamindar’s and colonial government did nothing to improve the condition of agriculture. Zamindars were to pay a fixed sum to the government as land revenue and they were absolutely free to extract as much from the tillers of the soil as they could.
(ii) Lacking Resources:-
Along with the land settlement system, low levels of technology, lack of irrigation facilities and negligible use of Fertilisers, all added up to the bad condition of the farmers and contributed to the dismal level of agricultural productivity. Despite of some progress made in irrigation, India’s agriculture starved of investment in tracing Flood control, drainage and disalimination of soil.
