Answer 2

Answer:

D. The British did not suffer the Hardships that Indians faced.

Explanation:

Under the British Raj Indian people suffered various famines. But the worst famine was that struck Bengal.  The first of the famines was in 1770 and it was later followed by the famines in 1783,1866,1873,1892,1897 and 1943-44.

Earlier when the famines struck the country the rulers quickly responded to avert the disasters. The famines during the British Raj was due to the exploitation of its natural resources and monsoonal delays.

The Famine of 1770 killed approximately ten million people. Under the Mughal rule the peasants had to pay tribute of 10-15 percent of their harvest and it left a need of safety for peasants in case of famines and weather failure. But as the British consolidated their rule by annexing territories they stated to demand revenue as much as 50 percent of the harvest. High tributes meant that the surplus deteriorated rapidly and there was no safety net for the peasants.

The British did not suffer much because they were the ruling class and all the resources were at their disposal.
