Answer 1

Till 18th century, Indian agriculture and cottage industries had a very strong relation. India held prominent place in field of agriculture and handicraft production in the world. The coming of British colonial rulers destroyed handicraft industry while causing far-reaching changes in country’s agrarian structure by introducing novel systems of land tenure and policies of revenue administration.

British mainly adopted three types of land tenure systems.

Permanent Settlement /Zamindari System: Roughly 19% of total area under British rule – Bengal, bihar, Banaras, NWFP divisions.

Ryotwari System: Covered about 51% of the area under British Rule – Assam, Bombay and Madras Presidencies.

Mahalwari System: Covered 30% of area under British Rule – major parts of NWFP, central provinces and Punjab
