Description

About The Book: Famines and Land Assessments in India by Romesh Chunder Dutt critically examines the causes of recurring famines in British India, linking them to colonial land revenue policies. Dutt argues that excessive taxation and exploitative assessments forced peasants into poverty, reducing their resilience to drought and crop failure. The book highlights the economic injustices of British rule and advocates for more humane, sustainable agricultural and fiscal policies. It remains a significant work in understanding colonial India's agrarian distress and economic history.
