Zamindari system - Zamindari system

Japanese: ザミーンダーリー制度 - ザミーンダーリーせいど

A land ownership and taxation system introduced by the British in 1793, mainly in northern India. Zamindar (Persian) means landowner. The social classes referred to by this word were not uniform, ranging from local feudal lords to small village landowners. However, all of these were collectively defined as "landlords" and given exclusive rights in order to ensure land taxes. This destroyed the traditional relationship between landlords and farmers, gave birth to many tenant farmers, and made land an object of speculation. →Raiyatwari system

1793年に英国がおもに北インドに導入した土地所有・徴税制度。ザミーンダールzamindar（ペルシア語）は土地所有者の意。この語で呼ばれた社会層は一様でなく，地方的領主から村内の小地主まで，さまざまであった。しかし，これらを一括して〈地主〉と規定し，独占的な権利を与えて地税の確保を図った。このため，伝統的な地主と農民の関係が壊れて多くの小作農が生まれ，土地が投機対象となった。→ライーヤトワーリー制度
