Strengthening control
Reforming land revenue
All of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: All of the above.
After the suppression of the revolt, the British implemented policies in Gujarat aimed at:
- Pacifying the population: The British were concerned that the revolt would spread to other parts of India, so they took steps to appease the population in Gujarat. They did this by pardoning some of the rebels, paying compensation to those who had suffered losses, and making some reforms to the administration.
- Strengthening control: The British also wanted to make sure that they could prevent another revolt from happening. They did this by increasing the number of British troops in Gujarat, building new forts, and strengthening the police force.
- Reforming land revenue: The British also wanted to make sure that they were getting as much revenue as possible from Gujarat. They did this by reforming the land revenue system, which had been in place since the Mughal period. The new system was more efficient and allowed the British to collect more revenue.
The British were successful in their efforts to pacify the population, strengthen control, and reform land revenue in Gujarat. However, the revolt had a lasting impact on the region, and the British never fully regained the trust of the people.
