📚noun

zemindaries

🗣️

DEFINITION

historical land estates or territories managed under the landholding system of South Asia

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Historical administrative records detail how vast zemindaries were managed during the colonial governance period across India. The local government restructured taxation policies to reform the old economic influence held by wealthy zemindaries. Vast agricultural fields belonging to these traditional zemindaries provided substantial revenue for regional provincial rulers. Peasants working across rural zemindaries frequently organized movement petitions demanding fairer crop sharing distribution agreements. The eventual legal abolition of large hereditary zemindaries transferred agricultural land rights directly back to local farmers.
