What effect did crop failures and epidemics have in India after the First World War?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: People’s economic difficulties increased further
The governing concept is the post-war economic and social crisis in colonial India. The war had already caused inflation, shortages and economic pressure. When crops failed, food became scarcer and rural incomes declined; epidemics then caused illness, deaths and additional hardship. Therefore option A is correct. Options B, C and D are incorrect because taxes did not end, colonial rule continued, and villages did not become uniformly prosperous.
