Zamindar : There are
two phases of zamindars ,first phase during mughal period (though this
term was in vogue from much earlier times) :During Mughal rule zamindars
(actual word is zimmidar derived from zimmedar i.e the one who is
responsible for revenue collection) were NOT LAND OWNERS as no concept
of OWNERSHIP (land was plenty) existed in that period.A zamindar was
responsible for the revenue collection from the land alloted to him and
he could be stripped from office if governor/emperor so wished.Second
phase :After permanent settlement of 1793 ,pre-existing zamindar were
given OWNERSHIP of land subject to timely payment of collected revenue
..Land was auctioned (Land became sale-able property for the first time
in Indian history) in case any zamindar failed to pay his dues.Jagirdar
:Office of jagirdar came into existance after the advent of Mansabdari
system (Indian varient of feudal system) during Akbar's rein (though
similar type of officials existed in delhi-sultanete period too).Broadly
land was classified as 1.khalisa land 2. JagirsKhalisa land :land revenue directly went into state coffers.Jagirs:Individuals/Noblemen
were given rights over revenue of the alloted jagirs (land) in-lieu of
Military services to the state .Jagirdars kept a legion of soldiers and
were responsible for their salaries and other needs.They were usually
transferred regularly every 3-4 years lest someone assert sovereignty
over alloted jagir !Whether the land was
khalisa or jagir ,revenue collection was done by zamindars but
appropriating authority was different in each case.There is subtle difference b/w jagirdar & mansabdar ,the above mentioned definition is technically of the latter.PS
: The above explanation of Jagir is for “Jagir-i-Tankkhwa” (instead of
cash salaries noblemen were given rights over revenue from stipulated
land)There were other types of Jagirs like:Inam jagir : Given to religious leaders as CharityWatan
Jagir : A type of limited sovereignty over few villages & Cities
,person holding watan jagir wasn’t expected to provide any services to
the state.Raja Mansingh held Watan jagir in Amber & Jagir-i-Tankhwa
in Hisar. The former (Amber) didn’t have any conditions attached to it
,while latter (Hisar) required him to provide services to the state.Jagirdar Vs Mansabdar : All Mansabdars were Jagidars but not vice-versa .
