why were many zamindari auctioned after the permanent settlement?
Answers
Answer:
Many Zamindaris were auctioned after the Permanent Settlement as the zamindars regularly failed to pay the revenue. Thus it was difficult for the ryots to pay their rents to the zamindars. This made the collection of rent impossible and thus the zamindars were not able to pay the revenue.
Answer:The Permanent Settlement of revenue was introduces in Bengal by Lord Charles Cornwallis in 1793. Under this system, the East India Company had fixed the amount of revenue to be paid by each Zamindar. Those who failed to pay the revenue were divested ( to sell something, especially a business or a part of a business) of their estates. These estates were later on auctioned to recover the revenue. They were sold to the highest bidder.
