Here is your answer!
Explanation:
The new land revenue system fixed very high revenue over the peasants. However peasants were unable to pay them and as a result, villages were deserted and ryots fled the countryside. It also resulted in revolt s and protests from them.
In all these land revenue systems, the revenue was fixed at a very high rate. In Permanent settlement, the Company fixed the revenue so high that it became difficult for zamindars to pay revenues to the Company. The settlement was oppressive for villagers as they had to pay high rent to the zamindars.
This happened in India as a result of the policies of the British. The beneficiaries were landlords and the government and victims were the peasants. ... Even for paying land revenue to the government:the peasants were obliged to borrow and unable to pay an indebted peasantry develop agriculture.
