Expert Answer
There are quite a few differences in the condition of farmers during British rule and the condition of farmers in present times.
1.The first and the foremost difference is that the British government was most concerned with the collection of revenues and was not concerned with the condition and welfare of the farmers. Today, the government of India provide several assistance to the farmers like provide seeds, fertilisers on reduced price, crop insurance etc. However, these benefits still do not reach many farmers.
2. Use of technology, size of land holdings and irrigation facilities are still not widespread, with the exception of states like Punjab and Haryana. However, one important point of difference has been the enforcement of land reforms in Communist ruled states like West Bengal. This has empowered the farmers politically, unlike in the colonial times.
3. Also, farmers are able to struggle for better prices for their produce in today's times through their unions. Also, while before indpendence, the colonial government or individual planatation owners could force farmers to grow a particular crop, today farmers in India can choose what to grow.
