WHAT DOES ZAMINDARI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

zamindari

Zamindar

A zamindar on the Indian subcontinent was an aristocrat, typically hereditary, who held enormous tracts of land and held control over his peasants, from whom the zamindars reserved the right to collect tax. Over time, they took princely and royal titles such as Maharaja, Raja, Deshmukh, Nawab, Mirza, Taluqdar, Chaudhary, Reddy, "Naidu," "Gounder," and many others. Although zamindars were considered to be equivalent to lords and barons in some cases they were seen as independent, sovereign princes. Often zamindars were Indian princes who lost their sovereignty due to British Rule. For example, the Sivaganga Zamindari and Ramnad Zamindari were the lesser and greater Kingdom of Marava ruled by the royal family till 1803; ever since then they were the Zamindars of Marava. There is no clear distinction between royal zamindars, such as Raja Venkata Ranga Rao, or merely aristocratic zamindars. Many kings were former zamindars, such as the Royal House of Benares; conversely many new zamindars were old kings.
