The quote that assesses a long term impact of British rule is: "Since the majority of India’s labor force was devoted to growing cash crops as raw materials for British industry, Indian industry remained underdeveloped through the end of British rule."
To determine the correct answer, we need to assess the impact of British rule from the provided quotes.
The first quote mentions the oppression of poor farmers and the political administrators receiving huge payoffs from high taxes. While this highlights the negative impact of British rule, it does not directly address long-term effects.
The third quote states that due to the majority of India's labor force being dedicated to growing cash crops for British industry, Indian industry remained underdeveloped throughout British rule. This implies that the focus on cash crops hindered the growth of Indian industry in the long term.
The second quote about market restructuring to suit British interests also suggests negative consequences for the handicrafts industry but doesn't explicitly address long-term effects.
The fourth quote mentions the connection of markets through railroads, but this does not specifically assess the long-term impact of British rule.
Therefore, the correct answer is the second quote: "Since the majority of India’s labor force was devoted to growing cash crops as raw materials for British industry, Indian industry remained underdeveloped through the end of British rule."
