Zamindari System

ZAMINDARI SYSTEM: Zamindari was made a hereditary right of the zamindars under the Permanent Settlement or the Zamindari Bandobast. They were made the owners of the land and were forced to pay 89% of the total revenue to the British government. Their own share was 11 %.

The system gave birth to a new class of landlords called zamindars who had the power to evict any cultivator of the soil due to non-payment of revenue.
