Differentiate between Ryotwari and Mahalwari system
Answers
Answer:
Under the Mahalwari system, the land revenue was collected from the farmers by the village headmen on behalf of the whole village. Under the Ryotwari system, the land revenue was paid by the farmers directly to the state.
Explanation:
★ In the Mahalwari system , the settlements was made between landlords, or heads of families, claiming to represent the entire village community or groups of villages ( known as MAHAL)and the government and the revenue was fixed for a perios of time 20-30 years after which it was revised.
★ In the Ryotwari system, the middlemen or the zamindars were removed. The settlement was made directly between the company and the ryot ( or cultivator) who paid the government about half the value of the soil and the revenue amount was revised after 20 or 30 years .
