Explanation:
The Mughal Emperor granted the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the East India Company in1765. In 1773 Regulating Act was passed by the British Parliament to regulate the activities of the East India Company. Permanent Settlement Act was passed in Bengal in 1793. According to Permanent Settlement, the zamindar was not a landowner in the village, but a revenue Collector of the state. The first revenue settlement in the Bombay Deccan took place in 1818. The revenue that was demanded was so high that in many places peasants deserted their villages and migrated to new regions. In areas of poor soil and fluctuating rainfall, the problem was particularly acute.
