Publisher's Synopsis
The Taluqdari Settlements in Oudh is a historical book written by Rajkumar Sarvadhikari in 1882. The book focuses on the taluqdari system in Oudh, a region in northern India, during the British colonial period. The taluqdari system was a land tenure system where a taluqdar, or landowner, was granted a large estate in exchange for paying an annual revenue to the British government. Sarvadhikari provides a detailed account of the origins, development, and impact of the taluqdari system in Oudh. He examines the political, social, and economic implications of the system, including its effects on the peasantry, the zamindars (landlords), and the British colonial administration. The book also delves into the legal aspects of the taluqdari system, including the laws governing land ownership, revenue collection, and disputes between taluqdars and tenants. Sarvadhikari draws upon a range of primary sources, including official records, legal documents, and contemporary accounts, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the taluqdari system in Oudh. Overall, The Taluqdari Settlements in Oudh is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the history of colonial India, land tenure systems, and legal history. It offers a rich and detailed account of a significant aspect of British colonial rule in India and sheds light on the complex social and economic structures of the region during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
