What is the difference between the present peasants and those of the British time ?
✓
Answer
The peasants during the time of the British rule were ruined due to the hard and unjust revenue policy of British government .
With the enforcement of the “permenent Sattlement Act” peasants lost their land also to the rich landlords.
The peasants had to work hard in all kinds of weather,but they gained nothing , thus peasants during the time of British rule suffered from poverty and hunger.
Present day peasants are free citizens of a democratic nation.
They are the rightful owners of their land.
Land revenue decided by the government is quite less and so they do not have to pay much.
They farm their fields accordings to their wish and get income from crops.
They get facilities like irrigation, electricity, fertilizer, seeds, etc. from the government .
Thus, Indian peasants of today are free and live peacefully and happily.
