1 land tenure system
in zamindari system,the zamindarsorthe landlords were the owner
of land the actual collection of money was much more than what they
had to pay to the govt so the zamindars exploited the cultivator
and peasents under tgis system other people benefited at cost of
actual cultivators nd the govt
2 commercialisation of agriculture
farmers wereforcedto cultivate commercial crops like indigo
indigo was required by textile industry in britain for dying of
textile as a result there was a decrease in production of food
crops the farmers had to suffer from frequent natural disasters
like famine INDIAN AGRICULTURE WAS TRANSFORMED INTO RAW MATERIAL
EXPORTING SECTOR FOR ENGLAND
3 partion of country
partion in1947 adversely affected india's agricultural
production the rich food producing areas of westpunjab and sindh
went to pakistan which created food crisis in country also the
wholefertileland under jute production went to east pakistan
(bangladesh)
thus indian agriculture became backward, stagnant, and non
vibrant under british rule
