Question

Wt did alexander reed introduce in 1792

Answer 1

Answer:

The Ryotwari system was started by Alexander Reed in Bara-mahal in 1792 and was continued by Thomas Munro in 1801. Initially introduced in Madras province, it was also implemented in the Bombay province at a later stage. In this system, the land revenue was to be collected directly from the cultivators instead of being collected through intermediaries, as under the Zamindari system. But the new system did not establish peasant proprietorship as they were to pay the rent directly to the Government, which was supposed to be the owner of the land. The ryot had to pay revenue even when his produce was partially or wholly destroyed by natural disasters.
