Britain used India as a source of raw materials
for its industries. In turn it flooded Indian
markets with cheap goods from Britain. As
a result, Indian industries suffered a steep
decline and millions became jobless. The land
revenue systems introduced by the British
were another major cause of discontent.
The Permanent Settlement of Bengal fixed
the revenue at such high levels that not only
poor peasants but even zamindars found
it difficult to pay. The defaulters’ land was
taken away and these peasants became
landless and jobless and were driven to be
bonded labourers.

Mention two economic policies of the British that led to discontent in India.
There were many such economic policies by the British, due to which there was deep discontent among the Indians.
The two economic policies in these economic policies are as follows:
- Salt law : Salt law was such a black law, which was the most disgusting law under the economic policy implemented by the British government. Under this law the production and sale of salt was banned and its monopoly was given only to the government. Salt was such a common substance, which was important in everyone's life. Whoever needed it. The establishment of control by the government on this vital substance caused deep discontent among the Indian people.
- Land Revenue Tax : A lot of tax was levied by the British in the form of land revenue tax, due to which many small farmers had to lose their land. India is an agricultural country and most of the population here depended on agriculture for their livelihood. In such a situation, by imposing excessive land revenue tax, the British started exploiting the Indian people, due to which there was deep discontent among the Indian people.
