The document aims to understand the commercial policies and Ryotwari system under British rule, with the hypothesis being that women's status in Indian society has changed over time from the Vedic period to the modern period.

SYNOPSIS

Introduction:

The Commercial policy of the British government of India did not promote the
interests of most Indian producers or consumers. Narrowly defined, trade policy
refers to government rates of tariffs, duties, quotas, trade agreements, and other
policy instruments that affect the price and quantities of goods exported and
imported. Broadly defined, trade policy incorporates all government policies that
influence a country's terms of trade, defined as the price of its exports relative to its
imports. Such policies would include those targeting changes in exchange and
interest rates, investment incentives, taxation and expenditure policies on tradable
commodities, and nontariff barriers to trade, such as preferential treatment in
government purchases. British imperial rule had many adverse consequences for
India's international economic relations.

The British Raj had no consistent trade "policy" until the mid-nineteenth century.
The three British East India Company presidencies of Bengal, Bombay, and Madras
had operated largely independently and had adapted to a varying range of pre-
colonial trade systems. For example, Mughal tariff rates often varied from 2.5 to 5
percent, depending on the region and the traders' community affiliation. Over time,
the British consolidated the indigenous systems of inland and external customs
rates of the eighteenth century.
