What injustice was done by english landlords to the sharecroppers?
Dear Student,
- The poor peasants or sharecroppers suffered a lot because of the english landlords.
- Those days a large portion of the arable land was divided into large estate owned by those landlords and Indian tenants worked on it.
- The landlords forced the tenants to plant 15% of their indigo and pay entire harvest as rent to them.
- Later when the english landlords no more needed the harvest, they demanded compensation from the peasants just to release them from the 15% agreement.
