Who introduced the Zamindari system in India? / भारत में जमींदारी प्रथा की शुरुआत किसने की? [SSC CGL 25 July 2023]

Answer

Correct Answer : a ) Lord Cornwallis / लार्ड कार्नवालिस

Explanation :

The Zamindari system was introduced by Lord Cornwallis through the Permanent Settlement of 1793.

This system gave land revenue collection rights to landlords (zamindars) in exchange for fixed payments to the British government.

It was implemented mainly in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa.

This system led to exploitation of peasants and increased zamindari power, causing social and economic challenges.

Hence, (a) is the correct answer.

जमींदारी प्रणाली की शुरुआत लॉर्ड कॉर्नवालिस ने 1793 के स्थायी बंदोबस्त के माध्यम से की थी।

इस प्रणाली ने ब्रिटिश सरकार को निश्चित भुगतान के बदले में जमींदारों (ज़मींदारों) को भूमि राजस्व संग्रह के अधिकार दिए।

इसे मुख्य रूप से बंगाल, बिहार और उड़ीसा में लागू किया गया था।

इस प्रणाली ने किसानों का शोषण किया और ज़मींदारी शक्ति को बढ़ाया, जिससे सामाजिक और आर्थिक चुनौतियाँ पैदा हुईं।

इसलिए, (a) सही उत्तर है।
