Zamindar of Bengal

After the conquest of the Mughals, the zamindar became a special title and zamindar means the owner of various types of land and rights. Starting from autonomous or semi-independent head or clan chief, the proprietor of the farmer could become a zamindar. Independent or semi-independent sardars or chiefs became subordinate friends or peshkashi (paid person) in the alliance. But their administrative autonomy is virtually unanimous. And all of them were almost maljamin (land revenue provider). They used to collect revenue for the Mughals. The Mughals defied the hereditary status of the rest of the zamindari class except autonomous or chiefs or chiefs of the border region. Whether their warships would remain in the zamindari, it was somewhat of the will of the sovereign ruler of the country. If they were rebelling or failed to pay the prescribed revenue, they could be removed. In exchange for satisfying the ruler, these zamindars were entitled to various types of facilities, such as khilat (dignified costume) and title. These rights were determined by their dignity, wealth and other things.

Civil administration in pre-modern India was rotated mainly through the management of revenue related issues. Because of this, several administrative responsibilities were given with the payment of land. Under this liability, zamindars had to prepare details of revenue determination, earning rent from farmers and handed it to state authorities. They were also forced to provide assistance to the royal officials in order to provide peace to the local area and to supply the army if needed. Partial source of strength and authority of upper class landlords was their share in the crops and other materials produced in the land and partly their traditional status quo on the local population. The status and status of these positions was very favorable in keeping with the authority of the Emperor's charter, which was given the duty of the people to perform the state duty.
