Discuss any two factors that lead to stagnating Indian agriculture sector during British rule.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Land Revenue Systems: The introduction of exploitative land revenue systems such as the Zamindari system led to excessive taxation and neglect of agricultural development.
Commercialization of Agriculture: Focus on cash crops for British industries reduced food grain production, leading to frequent famines and stagnation in agricultural productivity.

Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
