The British policies of permanent settlement and the ryotwari system in India had serious economic consequences. Permanent settlement, which was mainly implemented in Bengal, fixed the level of land income permanently, placing the burden of income adjustment directly on the peasants This discouraged agricultural reform because landowners have no incentive to invest in productive land or infrastructure for fear of higher taxes
Similarly, the ryotwari system implemented in places like the Madras Rashtrapatita imposed revenue directly on individual farmers. This increased direct British rule but often led to higher demands during periods of poor harvests, leaving many peasants in debt and perpetuating a cycle of poverty
Both policies contributed to increased land ownership among elites and increased rural debt. hindered agricultural modernization and industrialization, as peasant farmers lacked protection of land rights and faced exploitative practices by revenue collectors
Moreover, the unevenness of local economies undermined these policies and contributed to socioeconomic unrest and interference with the British and wealth in India. Vati is independently beyond much But they would stay

Introduction:
India has changed significantly since it won its independence in 1947. In the beginning, it was a planning economy which aimed at rapid industrialization and development with the help of state-run enterprises. The public sector played a key role in critical industries such as steel, energy, telecommunications and infrastructure where private investment was minimal.
Early years:
Even so, the 1990s marked the turning point for economic reforms that brought about liberalization, privatization and globalization (LPG reforms). Consequently, the public sector’s role had to be re-calibrated. Strategic disinvestments and privatizations were meant to reduce inefficiencies, enhance competitiveness as well as attract private capital. It sought to create an enabling environment for the private businesses while maintaining public control over areas like atomic energy, railways and defense that are strategically important.
Currently:
Today in India, there is a dynamic private sector alongside a public one that supports infrastructure growth social welfare programs and regulation. Public sector entities continue to employ many people while also contributing significantly towards economic stability but they face inefficiency challenges bureaucratic hurdles and political interference
Conclusion:
Generally speaking, this shift indicates an evolution towards a mixed economy.

The Government of Indian Act of 1935 and 1919 were landmark legislations that had an effect on the process of India’s independence struggle, each with different attributes.
*Government of India Act of 1919’s reforms were also notable as it expanded the provincial legislative councils and introduced diarchy in which some powers were devolved to Indian ministers while the major aspects of administration remained under British control. This act marked a shift towards limited self-governance, albeit within the confines of British paramountcy
*Contrary to this, government act made in 1935 was more ambitious proposing a federal system for India where provinces would have greater autonomy and a wider franchise. It also envisaged a bicameral federal legislature and enhanced provincial autonomy. However, its implementation was delayed due to World War II, and only provincial autonomy provisions were partly enacted.
Through these acts, demands for self-governance among Indians and political consciousness developed during this period in relation to India’s independence movement. The 1919 Act had given Indians a taste of political power but not without controversy hence triggering further calls for reforms and independence. The defective nature together with late implementation notwithstanding, the 1935 Act laid the foundation for post-independence governance arrangements.The 1919 act gave visuals of political power, on other side 1935 act focused on comprehensive federal system. The both acts have played important role in shaping the India’s independence movement and future governance too.

Introduction:
India’s political landscape since independence in 1947 has witnessed substantial changes up to 2024. At first, the nation adopted a democratic republic with a parliamentary system deeply entwined with Congress Party which was spearheaded by leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. They were characterized by focus on nation-building through economic planning (Five-Year Plans) and non-alignment during the Cold War.
Brief:
Since the 1980s, India has experienced significant political transformations. The country opened up its economy through Prime Minister Narasimha Rao’s policy of liberalization in 1991 that led to rapid growth and urbanization. This period marked coalition politics where regional parties became influential in shaping national policies. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), emerging as the main force advocating Hindu nationalism and free market reforms, ruled late nineties and early two thousands before returning to power under Narendra Modi in 2014.
Conclusion:
By 2024, India’s political setup is made up of many regional parties, alliances and an increasing influence of social networking on public opinion. It is the BJP’s domination and Hindu nationalist agenda that have changed how people talk about politics while issues such as income disparity, social justice,women exploitation and as such.
