...As a result, the phenomenon of land concentration among certain classes began to be observed even in land held by ordinary farmers, but the core of the landlord class that emerged in this way was the village leaders. Thus, from the second half of the 19th century onwards, the modern landlord class emerged through the above three processes, and can be broadly categorized as consisting of the zawat class and the village leaders centered around the village chief ('umda).
