  Read the two views on the revolution in the countryside. Imagine yourself to be a witness to the events. Write a short account from the standpoint of an owner of an Estate    (b) a small peasant          (c) journalist

Answer:

                  Sample accounts of the revolution are given below (a) An Owner of an Estate My property was taken over by my farm labourers. They spared me and my family, but now I am totally dependent on their mercy. They are not telling me anything about whether my property will be returned to me in the future or not. (b) A Small Peasant I am happy that together all of us labourers on this farm have taken it over and can now earn more by sharing the profits from the sale of the grain produced by us. Earlier the profits were all taken by the landowner without him doing any work. I salute the revolution, which has made our lives better. (c) A Journalist The news of the uprising has been welcomed in the rural areas by the peasants overpowering the landowners and taking over the running of the farms jointly. The orchards have been divided among the peasants who worked on them earlier, so that they can enjoy the profits from them. Surely the revolution has ushered in prosperity for the common man at the expense of the landowners.
