Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • DESTRUCTION OF INDIAN-MADE PRODUCTS : The increasing demand for Western commodities as a result of foreign influence occurred due disappearance of princely courts and their patronage among others reasons.
  • NEW LAND SYSTEM : Due to the new land system introduced by the British, the land revenue was at exorbitant rates and this led to destruction of the village community in India.
  • INTRODUCTION OF COMMERCIAL FARMING: As the British industries were offering higher prices for commercial crops, the peasants gradually started to shift their cropping pattern substituting commercial crops for food crops.
