Question

prepare a note in the occupation al group of medieval kerala​

Answer 1

Answer:

Occupational groups of medieval Kerala: By the end of the 19th century, a number of plantations, which was completely a new venture, was started in Malabar. For this, planters obtained large areas for long term. This provided employment to many, and in return, wages in cash. The receipt of cash, the realization of importance of cash, thoroughly affected the thinking of the people. The colonial notion of economy started percolating to all levels. Malabar also began to produce for the world market. Plantations and cultivation of cash crops expanded. Colonial ideas and perceptions brought forth conspicuous changes. The complete shattering of caste–wise occupation was the result of new trends of industry, commerce and plantations. A group of ryots was becoming the rightful owners of landed property by purchase. A gradual process was bringing forth at least a few Nairs to the position of landlords. By 19th century, this small section who paid rent to the Janmi and at the same time received rent from cultivators emerged as a socio-economic force since they extracted a higher rent from the actual cultivators than what they paid to Janmi.
