Answer
Two grievances of the peasantry against the British were —
- Increase in the land revenue forced many peasants into indebtedness or into selling their lands.
- The traditional zamindars were replaced by merchants and moneylenders. These new land owners had no concern for the peasants. They pushed rents to exorbitant levels and evicted their tenants in case of non-payment.
