British impact on Indian Agriculture
Indian economy was mainly an agrarian economy before colonial period. Agriculture was the main occupation of the people and industries like textile, sugar, oil etc were also depended on it.Before the coming of English, Indian villages were self sufficient and used to practice agriculture and handicraft together. They used to pay portion of produce as land revenue and sell one portion in cities.
British Land Revenue System : The land revenue system of Bengal started by Warner Hastings was based on the principle that all land belong to the crown. He started the system of auctioning of the rights of the land. This deprived old landlords of their lands.
At the time when Clive got Diwani of Bengal, a system of annual settlement was in practice, it was collected by two Diwans, Rheza Khan in Bengal and Shitab Rai in Bihar. (In 1772, the post of Nayab Diwan was abolished and land revenue came directly into the hands of governor and its council.)
Warren Hastings changed annual revenue system into 5 year system. The post of European collector was abolished in 1773 and was reintroduced in 1781 and Calcutta was made the centre of collection of revenue

Yes. It was under british colonial rule in the early 1900's.
There was a great impact of colonial rule on pastoral community. Under colonial rule there life changed dramatically . Due to the colonial rule their grazing ground shrank as the colonial states were trying to bring most of the land under cultivation. The revenue they had to pay increased because land revenue was the only source of income for the colonial states.They wanted to increase cultivated areas so as to increase revenue and most probably they can produce more jute,cotton,wheat etc. required in England.
Gandhi's act of civil disobedience, particularly the Salt March, increased international attention on the Indian independence movement and put pressure on the British government. It also led to greater unity among Indians and weakened British colonial authority in India. Ultimately, it contributed to India gaining independence from British rule.
Answer this question… It made Indians second-class citizens in their own country.
Indian laws have came on the back of British Colonial Rule. The court system in India today is very slow but is based around the British court system. Most laws are retained from that era with new laws being brought in by the Indian parliament and Indian governments.
