c. Most of the systems introduced by the British like Mahalwari system, Ryotwari system failed primarily because of high rate of revenue, the British also insisted in collecting revenue even in case of crop failure.
d. Like wise, permanent settlement introduced by the British, deprived peasants of their customary rights,  Zamindars  who were given ownership rights were not interested improving the land, the revenue was too high for the zamindars to pay.
e. Similarly, the British policy towards expanding production of Indigo had its own flaws., as it required large piece of land, more labour , at the same persistent cultivation of indigo affected the overall fertility of the land, later resulting the Blue rebellion.
