Question

What are similarities between nij system and ryoti system.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the nij system of indigo cultivation the planter produced indigo in lands that he directly owned. He either bought the land or rented it from other zamindars and produced indigo by directly employing hired labourers.

Difference between nij and ryoti system:

In NIJ cultivation, the planter themselves produce indigo while under Ryot system, planter get indigo produced by ryot.

In NIJ cultivation planter directly employ hired labour to produce indigo while in ryot system, planter force the ryot to sign an agreement to produce indigo.

In NIJ cultivation less than 25 percent of land should be under indigo cultivation while in ryot system, at least 25 percent of land should be under indigo cultivation.

Under NIJ cultivation it is very difficult to find labour while in ryot system, planter sometimes forces the village head on behalf of ryot to sign the agreement to produce indigo.

Under ryot system planter give loan to ryot to produce indigo, this is not applied in case of NIJ cultivation.
