Question

who devised the mahalwari system.explain the main features of this system

Answer 1

Heya...

Here's your answers....

1)In this system, the land was divided into estates. The estates were called as Mahal. Each Mahal comprises a village. If villages are too small, then two or three villages were merged and converted into a Mahal.

2)The assessment was done for the entire Mahal and a fixed revenue was collected.

3)The villages committee was held responsible for collection of the taxes.

4)Ownership rights were vested with the peasants.

Moneylenders involvement was a de-merit. They were ruthless towards the peasants. The British use to collect high revenues.

Thanks....!!!
