how did the land revenue system of india impact the native people?
○ a. switched to cash crops instead of food, making them market dependent for food which led to large scale peasants.
○ b. there was little impact since the peasants revolted and did not cave to british pressures.
○ c. peasants forced to sell lands or become tenant farmers.
○ d. a and c.

Explanation:

• Option a: The British Land Revenue System in India pushed peasants to grow cash crops (like indigo) instead of food crops. This made them reliant on markets for food, leading to hardships (e.g., famines) and debt, which is correct.
• Option b: Peasants did face significant impacts and often couldn't fully resist British pressures, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: High revenue demands forced many peasants to sell their lands or become tenant farmers (paying rent to landlords), which is correct.
• Since both a and c are correct, option d is the right choice.

Answer:

d. A and C.
