Question

Under the ryoti system, the planters forced the ryots to sign a contract, an agreement
(satta). At times they pressurized the village headmen to sign the contract on behalf of the
ryots. Those who signed the contract got cash advances from the planters at low rates of
interest to produce indigo. But the loan committed the ryot to cultivating indigo on at least
25 per cent of the area under his holding. The planter provided the seed and the drill, while
the cultivators prepared the soil, sowed the seed and looked after the crop.
Q1. What was satta?
