James Caird (politician)

Sir James Caird KCB PC FRS (10 July 1816 – 9 February 1892) was a Scottish agriculturist, agricultural writer and politician.His views were based on economic liberalism which led to him forming an advisory relationship to Sir Robert Peel and later under Benjamin Disraeli.The work caught the attention of the Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, who saw Caird as a well-informed commentator.He was of the opinion that famine relief should be aimed to save life and was against fitness tests and wage payment against work for Indians.He believed that Indian governance needed fundamental change with peasants receiving payment in kind with handling of harvest variability.
