The correct answer is: d) All of the above
The introduction of ‘Land Settlement’ in Mizoram led to the disruption of traditional land tenure systems, concentration of land ownership, and social inequality.
Traditionally, land in Mizoram was held communally by clans and villages. This system was based on the principle of usufruct, which means that people had the right to use the land but not to own it. The introduction of ‘Land Settlement’ led to the individualization of land ownership, which meant that people could now own land as private property. This change had a number of negative consequences. First, it led to the displacement of many people who were no longer able to access the land they had traditionally used. Second, it led to the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy individuals. Third, it led to social inequality, as those who owned land were able to accumulate wealth and power, while those who did not own land were often left in poverty.
The introduction of ‘Land Settlement’ was a major turning point in the history of Mizoram. It had a profound impact on the social, economic, and political structure of the state. The negative consequences of this change are still being felt today.
