1793 in India

The year 1793 marked a significant period in Indian history, characterized by the consolidation of British colonial rule and the socio-political transformations within the subcontinent. Following the Third Anglo-Mysore War, which concluded in 1792, British influence grew, particularly in southern India. The year also saw the implementation of the Permanent Settlement of 1793 in Bengal, an important land revenue system introduced by Lord Cornwallis, which aimed to stabilize tax collection by granting landowners ownership rights while imposing fixed revenue assessments. This policy had profound implications for agricultural production and rural society. Additionally, the period was marked by the simmering tensions between indigenous rulers and colonial authorities, foreshadowing significant resistance against British expansion in subsequent decades.
