Mahālwārī System

Japanese: マハールワーリー制度 - マハールワーリーせいど(英語表記)Mahālwārī System
Mahālwārī System
A taxation system implemented by the British colonial government in the 19th century in Uttar Pradesh, North-Western India, and Punjab. It is also called the Gramawāri system. Mahar means "plot." This system did not involve a contract for the collection of land tax with individual landowners, as in the Raiyatwari system, or a contract with large landowners or land auctions, as in the Zamindari system, but rather imposed land tax on multiple plots or entire villages.

19世紀にイギリス植民地政府によって,インドのウッタル・プラデーシュ,北西州,パンジャーブなどで実施された徴税制度。グラマワーリーGramawārī制度とも呼ばれる。マハールとは〈区画〉の意。ライーヤトワーリー制度のように,個別の土地所有者と地税徴収契約を結んだり,あるいはザミーンダーリー制度のように大地主との契約,土地の競売といった内容ではなく,複数の〈区画〉または村落全体に対して地税を課する制度である。
