Question

You read about the condition of peasants in the British rule in India. In what ways were it similar to that of Vietnam?

Answer 1

Answer:

The condition of Indian and Vietnam peasants were almost same.

Explanation:

The basic struggle faced by Vietnam peasants from French in 1924 was loss of land to french colonies, heavy taxation, an increase in the price of alcohol, salt, and opium. The loss of land made the peasants work as tenants and sharecroppers, paying a huge amount of the harvest to landlords.

Like Vietnam peasants, Indian peasants also faced the same problems during the British rule. The huge land revenue increased poverty among the peasants. The British government took the place of zamindars. Most of the cultivated products were exported to Britain. The drought due to bad climate during that time increased the suffering of the peasants even more.
