Description
The Raiyatwari and Allied Systems is a definitive historical study by B. H. Baden Powell that explores the complex land revenue systems implemented in India, particularly during the British colonial era. The Raiyatwari system, which directly assessed taxes on individual peasants or raiyats rather than on landlords, represented a significant departure from traditional feudal structures.
This detailed examination traces the origins, development, and practical applications of the Raiyatwari system across different regions of India. Baden Powell meticulously documents the allied systems that coexisted with Raiyatwari, including the Ryotwari variations and their impact on agricultural communities. The work provides valuable insights into the socio-economic consequences of colonial land policies and their effects on rural populations.
Essential for historians, scholars, and students of colonial Indian history, this hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House remains an authoritative reference on agrarian systems and revenue administration in India.
