Answer:

bengal and bihar were badly affected by the British policies

Answer 2

Both agriculture and industries were badly affected by British policies.

• India's traditional handicraft industries were thriving around the world. When British arrived, they imposed tariffs on handicraft exports, effectively ending the tradition.
• Competition from machine-made goods was fierce. With advent of railways, British goods entered every corner of the world, further contributing to textile industries' downfall.
• Peasants suffered tremendously as a result of their inability to repay loans. Moreover, they had to pay taxes to the government, and were impacted when the prices of these crops rose or fell.
• The spread of subsistence crops resulted in the decline and impoverishment of Indian agriculture and cultivators. The peasant was oppressed by the state, the landlord, and the moneylender at the same time.
