(historical, uncountable) In British India, a system used to collect revenues from the ryots (cultivators of agricultural land) indirectly through the zamindars, as opposed to ryotwari, where revenues were collected directly..
To it came all the north-western and south-western zamindaris, which fell naturally into the new tahsils of Bemetara and Sanjari-Balod respectively (Gunderdehi was subsequently transferred from Sanjari to the Drug tahsil in 1907).
