Why
did the colonial government want to convert grazing lands into cultivable
farms?
Ans:-Land revenue was the main source of finance of the colonial government.
By expanding cultivation it could increase its revenue collection. It would get
more jute, cotton, wheat and other agricultural produce that was required in
England. Uncultivated land appeared unproductive to the colonial officials as
it produced neither revenue nor agricultural produce. It was seen as ‘waste
land’ that needed to be brought under cultivation.

cultivation, recklessly uprooted all vegetation. They turned the soil coverinto
dust by using tractors. Their overzealous acts turned the whole regions of the
Great Plains into dust bowl.

of other countries as an act of unselfish social service, by which backward
people were introduced to the civilising influence of British law and Western
knowledge
OR
How
did the British use their political control to improve their textile industry?
Ans:-Political control helped the British to introduce cheap and fine mill
made clothes in Indian market. Indian peasants could be forced to grow crops

As a result many weavers and spinners were rendered without work and important
textile weaving centres such as Surat, Machilipatnam and Murshidabad declined.
