- Land was sold to whoever paid the highest amount, on a permanent basis.
- The landlords were known as "Zamindars".
- Zamindars had to pay 'Land Revenue Tax', which was set at a permanent rate of 90% of the rent the farmers living there paid.
- On the condition of the tax being payed periodically and consistently- the Zamindars were given permanent occupancy on the land and assurance of remaining the owner.
- The Zamindars grew comfortable with their arrangement regarding the tax system; leaving laborers exploited. 
- Only 'cash crops' were allowed to be grown- causing famine and the soil to become barren.]]> 2020-11-11 15:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913204112 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913316110 - This system was established in the year 1830, in the regions of Punjab, Gangetic Plain, Northwest Provinces, along with certain parts of central India.
- The agreements were made with Landowners or the head of households.
- Each landlord was in charge of managing and guaranteeing payment of land-tax to the British. ]]> 2020-11-11 16:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913316110 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913359945 - This system was instigated within 1792 & 1827, in the provinces of Madras and Bombay.
- The deal was made between a 'ryot' and the British officials. (ryot is the farmer)
- The 'ryot' was made to pay (around) 50% of the amount revived for crops grown, regardless of the success in growing the crops (even if the crops were demolished or had rot).
- This situation led most ryot's to loans, to be able to pay their share to the British. 
- In any case where the ryot wasn't able to pay their due, their ownership of the land was stripped, resulting in them becoming laborers. ]]> 2020-11-11 16:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913359945 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913441088 2020-11-11 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913441088 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913456081 Pre-colonial India was excelling in their textile and farming sectors. When they country was colonized the British took control and directed profits to themselves- wrecking India's 'cottage industries'.

- Due to the 'subsidiary' system' many artisans lost their jobs as the sales of the product reduced.
- The British having developed machinery to produce cotton products, made sure almost, if not all, the raw-cotton was sent to Britain- leaving local weavers losing income, as the demand for woven cloth declined.
- Heavy tax being imposed on Indian textile caused a reduced number of people to buy it, once again- leading to a fall in the want for Indian textile.
- With the British machine made products entering Indian markets, at a lower cost, less and less people bought hand made-woven-products.
- Finally, the 'One Way Free Trade' policy demolished the market and industry for the Indian products and the artisans jobs.

All these actions lead to a fall in the Indian handicrafts and art sector, leaving India a provider or raw materials.]]> 2020-11-11 16:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913456081 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913571579 2020-11-11 17:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913571579 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913576324 While craftsmen and artisans were negatively affected, traders faced major positive development.  These traders encouraged the British systems and supported their ideas, as they profited from the new changes being made. This new 'class' consisted off; the moneylenders, landowners and traders. ]]> 2020-11-11 17:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913576324 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913594424 2020-11-11 17:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913594424 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913616475 - In the year 1886, Dadabhai Naoroji (national leader and legislator), published a theory regarding how the British were draining India's wealth. It talked about how the British took advantage of the vast availability of resources in India. The theory included specifics on how the flow of wealth from these tow nations, was actually only a one way flow. If the Indian resources remained within the country and continued progressing the way it was before the British, India would not have been in poverty. ]]> 2020-11-11 17:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913616475 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913645747 2020-11-11 17:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913645747 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913654019 Before the British inhabited India, education here was traditional and ancient in nature- meaning texts being taught weren't advanced and up to date with new prorogued being made in science and literature all over the world.

To help communicate, the British acquired 'interpreters' who helped bridge the language barriers with locals. This brought in the medium of English to the Indians.
In 1813, the 'Charter Act' was implemented. The colonizers funded the spread of education through the colony- with a sum of one lakh rupees.
This led to a dispute between; the Orientalists- who supported the traditional education system- and the Anglicists- who were for the new western way of education. Many Indian scholars supported the western system and believed that this was the only way. 
In 1815, Lord Macaulay announced "the great object of the British government ought to be the promotion of European literature and science"- this situated with the western way of education and English as the language. 
Finally, In 1844, the British government declared that citizens who were well versed in English would be favored upon in employment. ]]> 2020-11-11 17:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913694754 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913774952 2020-11-11 18:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913774952 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913778190 2020-11-11 18:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913778190 sakshisrikanth3 https://padlet.com/sakshisrikanth3/co2u9qze0xsd6yb0/wish/913781111 Sir Charles Wood, in the year 1854, created a plan regarding education in India.
