What is the difference between zamindari, ryotwari and mahalwari system?
How did the zamindari system affect the peasants who worked on the land?
The zamindari system caused widespread exploitation of peasants since the zamindars had the power to charge exorbitant rents and taxes without any consideration for the welfare of the cultivators or the land. This often led to farmers who were tied to the land for generations getting into debt traps that they couldn't get out of.
