This system of land tenure is known as <em>ryotwari<\/em>. Under ryotwari, the tenant has the right to cultivate the land and to pass it on to his heirs, but he does not own the land outright. The state can repossess the land if the tenant fails to pay his taxes or if he does not cultivate the land properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social hierarchies:<\/strong> Sikkim&#8217;s social hierarchy is based on caste. The highest caste is the Brahmins, followed by the Chhetris, the Newars, and the Lepchas.
