Ill Effects of Dual System

Adm of law and order virtually broke down. Dacoits and Sanyasi raiders roamed freely. George Cornewall in 1858 called this systems(1765 - 1784) more corrupt, more perfidious and more rapacious to ever exist on face of the Earth.
Agriculture was laid to waste. Revenue give to highest bidder. Over-assessment and harshness in collection accompanied by famine in 1770.
Agricultural depression, Issue of Dastaks -> virtuall monopoly of English merchants. Clive said that EIC traders traded as sovereigns of land and took the bread out of the mouths of thousands of merchants who formerly traded.
Weaving industry received setback as silk industry in Bengal was discouraged. Weavers compelled to work in Silk factories to export raw silk who later cut off their thumbs. William Bolts tells that Gomasthas or Companies agents flogged, fined, weavers. Made them forcibly sign contracts and transferred them from one merchant to others like slaves.
Moral degradation of society. Farmers worked only for those hours that was absolutely necessary, weavers also did the same since there was no incentive for work.
