Talk:Zamindar

message: So it says "As most zamindars were Hindus, the Muslim peasantry, who formed the majority of the population in the countryside, was vehemently against zamindars." But where is a source to support this? I have been researching this and have been unable to find a definitive source saying that it was either mostly Muslim or Hindu, or a mix. What supports this? --98.169.83.230 (talk) 18:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it relevant to mention things like Devdas Mukherjee's family in the novel were Zamindars? Or, are there other important examples? gren グレン 04:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I saw that in the article there were written Wadara and Labardar, I corrected to the spellings Wadera and Lambardar. For example, a part of the Sindhi ancestors of Benazir Bhutto from her father's side were Wadera. Desiphral-देसीफ्राल 10:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Section British era, second para:
:The similarities to medieval feudalism are evident.
No, they aren't! In my eyes, this British era Zamindari system seems much more like the Roman Empire tax collection system. Similarities to medieval feudalism are very far from evident, since the land lords of feudalism could choose to keep all money for themselves and instead erect a local military to fulfill the same service. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 15:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

message: No the law didnt take effect in the 70s. The zamindari system was abolished in the 50s by the east pakistan government. Bangladesh consitution does not have a clause relating to land owenership of geovernment/individual. Some one please change this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.130.27.37 (talk) 09:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The relation of Zamindars with Mughal emperor is from a reliable source and more addition is welcome but removing a reliable information from wikipedia is not appreciated.

replies: text: You should not copypaste a large chunk from the source like you did in the article. That's WP:COPYVIO. You also removed other sources, which is disruptive. Write specific things in your own words succinctly. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

text: Yeah, and remember to write in an encyclopedic way, maintain formatting, etc. And also remember not to write anything that is not explicitly mentioned in the source which will then go against WP:NOR policy. I'll post a set of links on how to edit stuff here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:00, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

message: This edit-1 was made and Ahir caste was added in usual zamindars which is unsourced as it never mentioned them as one, also the source used here was of Raj era and it mentioned " in Ain-i-akbari the only mahals which are said to have Ahir Zamindars are Nagina and Sardhana but at present time there's not a Single landholder in the Sardhana tahsil " This directly refutes Ahir's claim that they were usual Zamindars.
This edit-2 was made and The Raj era Source was Removed and another Source was added which said "indeed, the parganah of ahrorah, in the latter district, though now without Ahir Zamindars, Derives its name from them being called Ahirwada in anceint records " This statement too simply identifies them as having Zamindaries in a specific area and does not include any points to support the claim that Ahirs were the usual Zamindars.  
Adding Ahir Caste here disturbs the pre-existing quote From 1 .  Aditya Prakash-080 (talk) 07:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
