Answer:
After the Company was given ‘Diwani’ of Bengal, the Company got an opportunity to obtain huge land revenues.
But, the policy of the Company was not appropriate. It followed a policy which left the tenants helpless.
Tenants were not in a condition to pay the rents increased by zamindars.
If they did not pay the rent, they had to loose the piece of land they had been tilling for generations. On the other hand, if they wanted to pay rent, they had to take loans.
They were not in a position to pay back their loans because after paying rent, they had not enough money even to run their household.
So, the tenants were being trapped in a cycle of indebtedness.
The Company or zamindars did not care about the improvement of land. This further worsened the situation.
So, Colebrook’s concerns about the under-ryots are right. He could see that Company’s policy was in favour of none. All the parties, i.e., the Company, zamindars and tenants were going to be adversely affected by this policy.
