What was a major effect of the First World War on ordinary people in India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Taxes and prices increased

The First World War sharply increased the colonial government’s military expenditure. To meet these costs, the government raised taxes, borrowed money and increased prices through wartime economic pressures. Ordinary people therefore faced a heavier financial burden, shortages and growing hardship. Option A correctly states the major effect. Options B and C are the opposite of what happened, while D is incorrect because wartime recruitment, including forced recruitment in some areas, continued rather than ending.
