Answer» The Munro settlement was introduced by Thomas Munro in the Madras Presidency during 1820-27. It was also called Ryotwari settlement ('ryot' means peasant. This system was between the peasants EIC, which explains its other name.) Gradually, it was extended all over South India. There were no intermediaries, like zamindars, between the peasants and the British. The peasants paid directly to the British. Munro felt that the British should act as father figures protecting the peasants under their charge. However, the taxes charged were very high amounting to around 55% oh the produce. |
