Land Tenure Reforms under British Rule

LAND TENURE REFORMS
(New Land System / British Land Revenue)
In the Pre-British period in India there is no evidence to show the existence of private ownership of land. The peasants worked the land and the King of Government received a proportion of the produce, which was usually fixed at 1/6th to 1/12th of the produced and in times of trouble, was raised to 1/4th. The British conquest of India led to a change in the existing land system. The new system introduced by the British created two forms of property of land- landlordism in some parts of the country and the individual peasants’ proprietorship in others. The first step taken for this change was that of assessments and registration the ownership of land. The King’s or Government’s share was replaced by fixed money payments irrespective of the year’s production, in good or bad harvest, and whether more or less of the land was cultivated or not.
Lord Cornwallis created the first group of landlord in India by introducing the permanent settlement for Bengal, Bihar and Orissa in 1793, it was

    British Imperialism In India

    These were set up by the British East India Trading Company. After the Murghal Empire began to collapse at the beginning of the 18th century, the British and the French joined forces to take control in 1757. The British would rule for almost a hundred years. The area was governed by the East India Trading Company, they themselves regulated by the British government, whose control was a little lax up until the 1800’s. The East India Company had an army staffed by British officers and Indian soldiers called sepoys. The British Empire used the Indian colony as a source for raw materials and as an economic dumping ground, utilizing the many Indian citizens as both workforce and consumer. The Indian people were only allowed to buy British goods and were not allowed to compete with Indian made goods on the economic market. Early British intervention in Indian systems of government was actually quite relaxed. Indians for the most part still controlled tax collection, which operated under their system of land taxation, where producers gave one third of their yield to collectors and other administrators, who could then keep some for themselves. British judges even served Hindu or Islamic law, as these were the practices that the Indian people based their laws on. Warren Hastings, in charge of Bengal in the years 1772-1785, was a firm believer in the Indian ‘ancient constitution’. This changed at the…

    has the system of land registration achieved its aims

    In 1925, Parliament introduced a system of land title registration, where the title to land across England and Wales would be compiled. The Land Registration Act 1925 ('LRA 1925') planned to create a 'one-stop shop', to eventually eradicate the need for individual title deeds. Subsequently, the Land Registration Act 2002 ('LRA 2002') set out the law of land registration, representing an attempt to improve and modernize the relevant legislation. The core objectives of both Acts remained the same, which is ultimately to promote marketability of land. Some argue that the system has failed in its attempt to achieve this due to the presence of overriding interests, especially relating to third party rights, which are not registered in the Land Register. However, this essay seeks to argue that overriding interests were a deliberate exception to the Register, and the LRA 2002 has in fact achieved a delicate balance between promoting marketability and protecting these disorganised interests, and in doing so realised its objectives.…

    British Imperialism Analysis

    The Permanent Settlement by Lord Cornwallis in 1793 set a constant tax rate to extract more revenue from landholders. Although the purpose was to create a mediator between the EIC and the rural peasantry, Cornwallis also wanted to create an “Indian version of the English gentleman-farmer” (Metcalf 78). Another system, known as the ryotwari system, created a direct relationship between the two. This was driven by the notion of a minor peasant-farmer who struggled to retain his land. Other ideologies arose regarding the British image of India. Orientalism, founded by William Jones, sought to record India at its height, the ancient Hindu India equivalent to the glory of ancient Greece and Rome. It was a mixture of profound respect for India, and pity for its perceived decline. On the other hand, Anglicanism aimed to completely reject Indian culture, viewing it as outdated, superstitious, and inferior to the…

    How Did Gandhi Influence Society

    At the time, India did not contained a central government, which attracted foreign countries to place their trading bases. The British East India Company took control of the country and also established the Raj. They contained an elaborate hierarchy of officials that was established to enforce its rule, the monarchy was supported by thousands of civil servants. The British did not deliberately set out to make India’s people change their existing ways of life, however their main focus was on the promotion of trade, perhaps they took away land of landlords taking advantage that they had more power. They manufactured goods into the country, ruining Indian industries because they preferred to export its raw materials to England, to be manufactured there and then returned as finished goods for Indians to buy. Indian cotton fed the huge textile mills of Lancashire and its tea quenched the thirst of the British. In this way England gained huge wealth and employment from its Indian empire, while leaving Indian industry relatively underdeveloped, with few resources, Indians had limited power over their own local affairs and had no role in central government. The British took a tactic of divide and…

    Industrialized Labor

    In reaching an agreement to use cash, individuals conceded their right to have an equal chance at acquiring un-owned land. This was in contrast to the actual goal of developing money to expand man’s ambition to acquire more of what seemed to be an abundant free take for all. However, in reality, the emergence of money resulted in the varied accretion of goods and land because of the differing capacities of men, leading to huge disparities in accumulated wealth. In this sense, money facilitated the entrenchment on some individual’s rights who unfortunately came to lose out on the liberty they had previously had where shares were more equitable.…

    Land Rights

    The study of psychology is a science centered on understanding and predicting human behavior. Throughout its history distinct individuals have come along and dramatically impacted our understanding and perception of this science with their thoughts, theories, and research, shaping psychology into what it is today. One such person who had this dramatic effect is Kurt Lewin. Psychology’s founding fathers, such as Freud, strongly believed that behavior was driven by our unconscious motivations or personality characteristics. Kurt Lewin revolutionized the study of psychology by empirically showing that human behavior was not only a product of one’s internal makeup but also greatly effected by the dynamic environment in with an individual lives.…

    This huge wave of land redistribution, carried out by peasants themselves through their land communities, swallowed not only lands of great landowners but also lands of independent peasants who had until then produced mainly for sales in markets. Although additional distribution of land portions slightly increased the average area of peasant holdings, agriculture lost its connection with markets and industrial production. As a whole, peasant holdings were leveled out into small-scale self-sufficient…

    Land Rights

    The land rights debate in the 1970’s was a tough and hard-fought journey for the Aboriginal people. In the 1967 Referendum, Australians showed their support for the Aboriginals, by voting to change the Constitution to include the indigenous in the Census and giving overriding authority to the Commonwealth government regarding Aboriginal affairs. Ralph Hunt, of the National Coalition Party and Federal Minister in 1971 stated ‘To just set aside land because Aboriginal groups and tribes believe they have a special right to it tends to only perpetuate the tribal system’, explaining that Indigenous people did not have the power nor authority to regain land that they believed belonged to them. However, by this stage, Aboriginal people were ‘less inclined to have white politicians deciding upon their best interests’. The quotation particularly reflected the ‘Assimilation’ policy in reference to the Indigenous people. In 1970, the Aborigines Advancement League had sent a petition to the United Nations, requesting that the union use its powers to uphold Aboriginal rights to the land. This strategy also failed.…

    Taxation in Japan

    The role of taxation in the transformation of the Japanese Economy Introduction Before the Meiji restoration under the feudal Tokugawa Shogunate, taxation was mainly a tool for warfare and military power. The system was highly regressive and pressed lightly on the rich and profit-earners. It was calculated to preserve a very unequal distribution on incomes and to stimulate the accumulation of private capital. This tendency somehow continued and was magnified before W.W.II when direct taxation was introduced for a more equal and balanced system.…
