Hint: 1)The Ryotwari and the Zamindari Both were lànd revenue systems introduced during the British rule.
2)These systems exploited the poor farmers.
3)The Zamindari system was introduced before the Ryotwari system.

Complete answer:



Zamindari SystemLord Cornwallis in 1793 introduced the zamindari system through the Permanent Settlement Act in Bengal, Bihar, Orissa. Ryotwari systemThomas Munro in 1820 introduced the Ryotwari system in Madras, Bombay, and Coorg regions.
Zamindars were perceived as the proprietor of the land and were given the rights to gather the lease from the workers.In the Ryotwari System, the workers owned the land and the British owned the profit from the use of the land.
The acknowledged sum would be isolated into 11 sections where 1/11 was given to Zamindars and 10/11 to East India Company. The income paces of the Ryotwari System were half where the terrains were dry and 60% in watered land.


The public authority of Lord William Bentinck, Governor-General of India (1828 to 1835) presented the Mahalwari arrangement of land income in 1833.

In the Mahalwari framework, Mahaldars gathered more assessment and misused farmers. The goal of every one of these frameworks was an abuse of ranchers and accumulating riches.

Note: The Zamindari Abolition Act, 1950, was the principal major agrarian change of the Indian government after the nation's Independence in 1947.

 The Mughals had surrounded the inherited status of the zamindars; it was the British who elevated their status and made them subordinates of the crown.

In the Ryotwari system, there were no go-betweens as in the Zamindari framework. However, since high assessments must be paid distinctly in real money (no choice of paying in kind as before the British) the issue of moneylenders came into the show. They further troubled the workers with weighty interests.
