Select a statement which describes the capitalist mode of production in the Indian agricultural sector.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The agriculture was capitalised, that is, where crops were being
grown primarily for sale in the market. The transformation in labour relations is
regarded by some scholars as indicative of a transition to capitalist agriculture.
Because the capitalist mode of production is based on the separation of the
workers from the means of production (in this case, land), and the use of ‘free’
wage labour. In general, it is true that farmers in the more developed regions
were becoming more oriented to the market. As cultivation became more
commercialised these rural areas were also becoming integrated into the wider
economy
