What is the difference between zamindari, ryotwari and mahalwari system?
Can you explain the difference between the zamindari, ryotwari and mahalwari system in India?
Sure, I'd be happy to explain. The zamindari system was a land tenure system in British India where a zamindar, or landlord, was given the right to collect revenue from peasants who worked on their land. The ryotwari system was another land tenure system that gave direct control to individual cultivators or tenants, rather than intermediaries like zamindars. The mahalwari system was yet another system where revenue was collected from villages as a whole instead of individual cultivators.
