Hey there
Here is ur answer
Failure of Dual Government
The “Dual Government” failed completely. During its period the abuses of private trade by the servants of the Company reached a climax. The privilege of dastaks was so misused that the Indian merchants failed to compete with the English and were completely ruined. Indian industries were also ruined. The Company used its political power to ruin the silk industry in Bengal. The cotton cloth industry which was the most developed one in Bengal was also ruined. The representatives of the Company arbitrarily decided the quality of the cloth, its quantity of production and its price much against the interest of the artisans. If any artisan or worker protested, he was severely punished or tortured. Therefore, many of them changed their profession and many others left Bengal. Agriculture was also destroyed because of the excesses of the Company. Land was assigned to the highest bidder every year for the collection of revenue. These bidders or the farmers of taxes collected maximum revenue from the farmers to draw maximum gain for themselves within a year. The Company increased its demand every year from the contractors. The contractors, in turn, increased their demand from the farmers while they were no way interested in increasing the production. Therefore, the peasants were the worst sufferers and many among them left their lands and became dacoits
