Solution
The correct option is C The British rule
Village economy was badly affected. The village panchayats were deprived of
their rights. The introduction of the concept of private property in land
turned land into a market commodity. Changes came in social relationships. New
social classes like the landlord, the trader, the money-lender, and the landed
gentry shot into prominence. The class of rural proletariat, the poor peasant
proprietor, the sub-tenant and the agricultural labourer multiplied in number.
The climate of co-operation gradually gave place to the system of competition
and individualism; the pre-requisites for the capitalist development of
agriculture were created.
