Question

What were the causes of non payment of revenue by the zamindars in Bengal? (class 12/history) (plz no silly answers)

Answer 1

Answer:

The Zamindars failed to pay the revenue-demand in the early decades after the permanent settlement: (i) The initial demands were very high. ... (ii) This high demand was imposed in the 1790s, a time when the prices of agricultural produce were depressed, making it difficult for the ryots to pay their dues to the zamindar.
