Answer 1

Yes I do think peasants are vital for economy of our country still today as they were vital in the Mughal Empire. This is because our country has the majority of peasants and therefore they will get the most of the revenue from the peasants which will boost the economy of our country.

Answer 2

In early times, peasants were the vital economy of Mughal. They also consider important in today’s world but not very much.

• Peasants spent their entire lives as farmers working in the fields. The accountability of peasants was to farm the land and deliver food supplies to the whole kingdom. In return for land, they were either necessary to serve the knight or pay rent for the land.
• Though, the division between the rich and poor remains the same. The poor peasants still don't have resources to use contemporary methods of agriculture and good quality seeds.
