Question

How do you think it was possible for the zamindars to keep increasing their incomes without increasing investment in the land?

Answer 1

Answer:

"ZAMINADARI SYSTEM was introduced by the British in the country India with a view to control the actions of the farmers and to gain extra revenue. But it was still possible for the ZAMINDARS to keep increasing their incomes without increasing investment in the land due to various reasons:

• As they lost their ZAMINDARI if the revenue was not paid to the British under the permanent settlement. This is the big reason ZAMINDARS were reluctant to invest in the land.

• The ZAMINDARS wanted to collect as much as revenue as they wanted

Answer 2

It was possible for the zamindars to keep increasing their incomes without increasing investment in the land as:

For example if the British asked for rupees 500 as the revenue from a particular land the zamindars would take double or triple the amout such from the peasants. Later on they would give the amount asked by the british and keep the rest with themselves.

This would increase the Zamindar's income
