Explanation:
The zamindari system was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in 1793 through Permanent Settlement that fixed the land rights of the members in perpetuity without any provision for fixed rent or occupancy right for actual cultivators.
Under the Zamindari system, the land revenue was collected from the farmers by the intermediaries known as Zamindars.
The share of the government in the total land revenue collected by the zamindars was kept at 10/11th, and the remainder going to zamindars.
