What to Focus On

  • Agriculture is the main livelihood source for most rural people.
  • Land is the most important resource and property in rural society.
  • Rural culture is deeply connected with agriculture and harvest seasons.
  • Agrarian structure means the distribution of landholding in rural society.
  • Landholding is highly unequal in many parts of India.
  • Tenants may pay 50 to 75 per cent of crop income as rent.
  • Zamindars were landlords and intermediaries under colonial rule.
  • The British gave zamindars property rights and used them to collect revenue.
  • In the raiyatwari system, cultivators paid tax directly to the government.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The highest caste in a village is automatically the main landowning group.

Dominant caste means the highest caste in a region.

Zamindari and raiyatwari systems are just two names for the same colonial land settlement.
