Answer 2

Ryotwari System :


Ryotwari system in south and South Western India by Thomas Munro and Captain Alexander Read. The settlement was made directly with the ryot or peasants who was recognised as the land on earth as long as he paid the revenue. Revenue was revised every 20 - 30 years.

The flaws in the system soon became an obvious :

★ Revenue was too high .

★ Revenue had to be paid even if the crops failed.

★ Instead of the zamindar , the state became the oppressor.
Peasants began to leave the countryside.
