Dear Student,
The following were the effects of World War I on India:
* It created a new economic and political situation by leading to huge expenditures in defence which were to be financed by increasing taxes and raising custom duties.
* Forced recruitment of soldiers bred resentment in villages.
* Crop failures and spread of influenza epidemic led to widespread hardships.
* Muslims were disenchanted with the treatment meted out to Ottoman Empire by the imperial powers. This led to a groundswell of support for non-cooperation.
* The business classes reacted against policies that restricted their business.
