Colonial Government

Colonialization: The way the British came to conquer the country and establish their rule, subjugating local nawabs and rajas. They established control over the economy and society, collected revenue to meet all their expenses, bought the goods they wanted at low prices, produced crops they needed for export, you will also come to know about the changes British rule brought about in values and tastes, customs and practices. When the subjugation of one country by another leads to these kinds of political, economic, social and cultural changes, we refer to the process as colonization.

As the British expanded, the amount of revenue was also increased .so much land revenue became the biggest source of income for the company.At this stage land Revenue settlements were introduced with an aim to legitimize the practice of economic exploitation.Therefore the Zamindari system under the permanent settlement, was introduced in Bengal in 1793 by Lord Cornwallis. large parts of South and West India were put under the Ryotwari system, whereas Punjab , North-West provinces and Awadh came under Mahalwari system.
