Bordering Nepal
Reclaimed from jungle
With fertile agricultural land
Where the Lepcha population was dominant
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Reclaimed from jungle.
The zamindari system was a land revenue system in British India under which the British East India Company granted large tracts of land to intermediaries, called zamindars, who collected revenue from the peasants and paid a fixed sum to the company. The zamindari system was introduced in Sikkim in the early 19th century, primarily in areas that had been reclaimed from jungle. This was done in order to encourage the development of agriculture in these areas.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option (a) is incorrect because the British did not introduce the zamindari system in areas bordering Nepal.
- Option (c) is incorrect because the British did not introduce the zamindari system in areas with fertile agricultural land.
- Option (d) is incorrect because the British did not introduce the zamindari system in areas where the Lepcha population was dominant.
