Q:
Examine these two statements carefully and select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statement I :The Pahi-kashta peasants were non-resident cultivators cultivating lands on a contractual basis.
Statement II :The Pahi-kashta peasants worked under the temptation of favourable terms of revenue or the compulsion of economic distress.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) Both the Statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
Explanation: Sources of the seventeenth century refer to two kinds of peasants –khud-kashta and pahi-kashta. The pahi-kashta were non-resident cultivators who belonged to some other village but cultivated lands elsewhere on a contractual basis. People became pahi-kashta either out of choice –for example, when terms of revenue in a distant village were more favourable –or out of compulsion –for example, forced by economic distress after a famine.
