Question
How were the farmers exploited in the permanent settlement system ?
✓
Answer
The farmers were exploited due to the 'Permanent Settlement' Act, because farmers had to compulsorily pay the land revenue decided by the landlord whether there was a harvest or not. These landlords would practise atrocities on farmers to collect their revenue. This is how farmers were exploited due to the 'Permanent Settlement' Act.
This method had truly proved to be a curse for farmers.
