10. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
First of all, the war created a new economic and political situation. It led to a huge increase in
defence expenditure which was financed by war loans and increasing taxes: customs duties
were raised and income tax introduced. Through the war years prices increased-doubling
between 1913 and 1918 - leading to extreme hardship for the common people. Villages were
called upon to supply soldiers, and the forced recruitment in the rural areas caused widespread
anger. Then in 1918—19 and 1920-21, crops failed in many parts of India, resulting in acute
shortages of food. This was accompanied by an influenza epidemic. According to the census of
1921, 12 to 13 million people perished as a result of famines and the epidemic.
