Solution
- The main economic policy of the British government was land settlement and the zamindari system.
- Because of both of these policies, Indian agriculture became very obsolete and backward. All the produce was taken by the rulers of British India; this made the farmers angry, but they could not do anything.
- The farmers had to pay exceptionally high taxes because of which they also had a huge amount of debt. The zamindari system had looted a lot of farmers of their produce and growth. Thus, this was a major drawback of this policy.
