How the British Raj Used Zamindars to Control India

Big ups to my pops for driving me to the farm after I asked too many questions about how we got it. Also, Snapchat - for keeping all my snaps in Memories so I could use them a month later as b roll. Really makes me wish I had Spectacles right now.<p>A little more about the Zamindari system: it wasn&#x27;t like feudalism where you were expected to raise armies. It was more practical &amp; revenue based. As long as you paid &#x2F; collected taxes, The Mughals didn&#x27;t care what religion you were. And the British didn&#x27;t really care what you did either. And it wasn&#x27;t sharecropping either.<p>Oddly, I didn&#x27;t come across much related to the caste system when I asked &amp; searched around. That&#x27;s weird right? Can someone with more knowledge help me out?
