Answer» Indian agriculture remained completely traditional and primitive during the British rule. Oxens were used as a means of transportation and wooden ploughs were used as a major tool in agriculture. Thus, agriculture remained merely a means of subsistence for most of the farmers.

The British ruled over India for 200 years, but took no sufficient steps to develop irrigation facilities. |
