1.	What were the cumulative effects of land taxation systems on Indian farmers?
Answer» Land was converted into a commercial commodity. Incidents of sale and auction of land increased. Since tax was being in cash, money gained importance. To enhance their income, the landlords forced the farmers to grow commercial crops like cotton, jute, groudnuts and sugarcane instead of food crops. Commercial crops were suitable for export and hence proved to be beneficial to the British. Due to this, there was a severe shortage of food grains. Different types of peasant classes surfaced in the landlord system.
