Answer 1

Answer:

there are many examples which show that the resources of india were highly exploited by the Britishers. Two examples can be of indigo planttion and timber cultivation. They also used to export india's raw materials such as cotton and others and completely destroyed India's participation in world trade.

Explanation:

In 1600, approximately one-sixth of India’s landmass was under cultivation. Now that figure has gone up to about half. As population increased over the centuries and the demand for food went up, peasants extended the boundaries of cultivation, clearing forests and breaking new land. In the colonial period, cultivation expanded rapidly for a variety of reasons. First, the British directly encouraged the production of commercial crops like jute, sugar, wheat and cotton. The demand for these crops increased in nineteenth-century . Europe where foodgrains were needed to feed the growing urban population and raw materials were required for industrial production. Second, in the early nineteenth century, the colonial state thought that forests were unproductive. They were considered to be wilderness that had to be brought under cultivation so that the land could yield agricultural products and revenue, and enhance the income of the state. So between 1880 and 1920, cultivated area rose by 6.7 million hectares. We always see the expansion of cultivation as a sign of progress.

But we should not forget that for land to be brought under the plough, forests have to be cleared.

Also, sleeper tracks started to be laid down also destroyed India's forest resources to a huge extent.

Also, they forced peasants of west bengal to grow indigo instead of rice. The drawback was that once Indigo was grown on a land, it almost loses its fertility.

except these, there are many incidents which show that Britishers did exploit indian resources..
