In what ways did the zamindari system fail in the objectives with which the British had introduced it?
Answers
Answer:
The Zamindari system was introduced by the British as a measure to ensure that the revenue and taxes produced from agricultural activities was collected and deposited with the government.
However the measures were inadequate and it resulted in the Zamindars taking advantage of their positions and keeping the money for themselves and annexing power and land.
They also ended up persecuting and exploiting the poor farmers. This was major factor that caused the farmers to turn against the British government.

1) Zamindars did not develop the lands.
