Solution
The correct option is D India was independent of British. The position of the landlords in the villages weakened after independence. Before this, there was a rigid Zamindari system where the peasants had to pay taxes. The exit of the British and the establishment of democracy played a major role in weakening the position of the landlords. Laws were passed to abolish the Zamindari system in villages.
