Consider the following statement :?So much is wrung from the peasants, that even dry bread is scarcely left to fill their stomachs.? Who among the following European travellers had made the above statement about the condition of peasantry in the Mughal Empire?
Options- A. Francisco Pelsaert
- B. Francois Bernier
- C. Jean-Baptiste Tavemier
- D. Niccolao Manucci
- Correct Answer
- Francisco Pelsaert
ExplanationBut while the average Mughal farmer produced more than in later times, he most probably produced less than in earlier times. On the whole, the Mughal period was marked by agricultural stagnation, if not slump. The per capita yield was declining, and the average man in Mughal India probably had less to eat than before. 'The surplus income left to the peasant was tending to decrease, where it had not already vanished,' says Moreland. 'The provinces,' says Pelsaert, 'are so impoverished that a jagir which is reckoned to be worth 50,000 rupees, may sometimes not yield even 25,000, although so much is wrung from the peasants, that even dry bread is scarcely left to fill their stomachs.'

Correct Answer: structural
Explanation:
Basically India's unemployment is structural in nature. It is associated with the inadequacy of the productive capacity to create enough jobs for all those able and willing in india. Not only is the productive capacity (largely capital stock) much below the needed quantity, it is also found to be increasing at a slow rate. As against this, additions to labour force are being made at a fast rate on account of rapidly rising population. Thus, the absolute level of unemployed persons is rising every year.
