Dr. Manishika Jain explains NCERT Class 8 History Chapter 3: Ruling the Countryside
12 August 1765: Mughal emperor appointed East India Company as Diwan of Bengal – happened in Robert Clive’s tent
As Diwan – Company became financial administrator of the territory – it could buy what it needed and sell what it wanted
Company had to pacify the rulers of the past
Revenue for Company
Wanted large revenue assessment and collection system
Increase revenue but buy cheap cotton and silk
In 5 years, value of goods bought by Company in Bengal doubled
Before 1865, Company purchased goods in India by importing gold and silver from Britain & now the revenue collected in Bengal could finance the purchase of goods for export
So, Bengal economy went into crisis, artisans were deserting villages & peasants were not able to pay dues
1770: Famine in Bengal killed 10,000 people & 1/3rd population was wiped off
