Question: What did the peasants pay the british landlords as rent? what did the british now want?
During British colonial rule in India, peasants paid landlords rent in the form of a share of their crops or cash. However, the British landlords, known as zamindars, often demanded high rents that left the peasants with little to live on. After India gained independence, the British government wanted to maintain the rights of the zamindars and continue collecting revenue from the peasants, leading to agrarian reforms and protests by the Indian government and peasant movements.
