Short essay on zamindari system
Answers
Answer:
Under the Zamindari System, land was held by one person or at the most by a few joint owners who where responsible for the payment of land revenue to the state. Actual cultivation was done by tenants who held the land under landlords.
There were two types of Zamindari tenures. In the first type, known as the Permanent Settlement, the revenue to be paid by the landlord was fixed permanently. The landlord was however, free to raise the rent to be paid by his tenant. This system prevailed in Bengal, Orissa, part of Madras, Benares and parts of South India.
In the second type of the Zamindari System, the revenue to be paid by the landlord was revised from time to time. This system prevailed in the C.P. (Part of present Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) where Malguzars, who were merely revenue collectors under the Marathas, were recognised as Landlords
