Answer:
Zamindar can be mainly called as a landowner. In ancient India, zamindars were considered as a part of the Government body. They had control over the land of a particular area, where they used to do farm works or they lend their land to the farmers and to the peasants. They used to collect taxes from them on behalf of the king. Later in the British rule, they remained the same but they collected taxes on the behalf of British rule now.
