Mahalwari<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Mahalwari system was a land revenue system introduced by the British East India Company in the early 19th century. It was based on the principle of collective responsibility, whereby the village community as a whole was held responsible for the payment of land revenue. The system was introduced in the northwestern provinces of India, and later extended to other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Mahalwari system was based on the assumption that the village community was a cohesive unit that could be held responsible for the payment of land revenue. The village headman, or patwari, was responsible for collecting the revenue from the villagers and paying it to the government. The patwari was also responsible for keeping records of landholdings and crop yields.<\/p>\n<p>The Mahalwari system was not without its problems. One problem was that the village headman was often corrupt and would collect more revenue from the villagers than was due.
