1 CHAPTER-VI THE LAND REVENUE Continuous invasions of Ahmad Shah Abdali had deteriorated the agriculture and the plight of the agriculturists. During his march, his armies whenever found an opportunity to plunder and to loot them never restrained from doing that act. In this process, it not only affected the fortunes of the traders and the craftsmen but also engulfed the agriculturists whose number was larger than the rest of the population. Rather, many of them among the peasantry recruited in the various branches of the Sikh army which formed the backbone of the soldiery of the Sikh Sardars 1 for defending and protecting not only themselves for survival but the land of their habitation. In this situation, however, the profession of agriculture probably was neglected. When the warm wave of the foreign invasions was completely over, the Sikh Sardars became the masters of Punjab in the 1760s. This change in the upper level of the political sphere, thus throws impact upon the peasantry in the succeeding years when we find that the majority of the Sikh rulers belonged to the cultivating class or to the classes associated with it. From that point of view one can infer the idea, however, that they acknowledge the importance attached to agriculture and land revenue and then created conditions of peace within one s own territories for exploiting these sources. 2 So, they decided to revive the prosperity of the peasants and the development of agriculture. 3 The prosperity of the peasants linked with the prosperity of their respective territories. In this respect, to quote an example, the Khushwaqt Rai, Ahwal-i-Firqa-i-Sikhan, IO 3897, f. 84; the Sikh movement between 1720 and 1760 was intimately related to the rural society and its economy. Zakariya Khan s government began oppressing the peasants with heavy exaction of revenue. The Sikhs were maltreated by the military contingents roaming about in villages in search of the Sikhs. As a result, the Jat cultivators were obliged to join the Sikh struggle: Daljinder Singh Johal, Society and Culture as Reflected in Punjabi Literature ( ), p. 15. J.S.

2 names of Gujjar Singh and Sahib Singh Bhangi were often in the mouth of the people of Gujrat who took back to their rule without the smallest bitterness. They seemed, indeed, to have followed an enlightened and liberal policy, sparing no effort to induce the people to settle down in peaceful occupations. Agriculture was encouraged, the system of inams and chaharamis was introduced, and very effort made to induce the people to settle down to their previous pursuits. 4 Contemporary accounts provide scanty and hasty information regarding the agriculture, agrarian production and the magnitude of land revenue of our period. Writing in the 1765, Qazi Nur Muhammad observed that the agrarian society of the Punjab was mainly based on village produce of surrounding areas. The farmers had been cultivating sugarcane and were expert in making sugar from sugar cane. In addition to, different kinds of grains like wheat, oats, pulses and grams were sown and produced on a large scale. Food and forage was excessively available, so the peasants used to husband cows, buffaloes, sheeps, donkeys and goats in large number. Horticulture was also prevalent among the Punjabis. 5 He pointed out that Ahmad Shah Abdali conferred some fiefdoms to some revered persons who were capable to facilitate him in the collection of land revenue. 6 A.L.H. Polier and George Forster referred to the extensive and fertile territories of the Sikhs and their attachment and application to the occupations of agriculture evidently produce large revenues. Having absence of concrete information regarding the revenues on the Sikh times, they thought that there was no decrease in the amount of revenue since the Punjab has been fallen into their possession. 7 James Browne referred to a state of high cultivation in the Sikh territories and added that the rent was moderate and generally collected in kind and during any intestine disputes, the cultivator was Gazetteer of the Gujrat District , p. 17; A.C Elliot, The Chronicles of Gujrat, p. 31.

3 never molested. 8 In 1794, John Griffiths ascribed to grains, cotton, indigo, jaggery and a variety of fruits produced in the Punjab. 9 Towards the last years of the eighteenth century, William Francklin carried the impression that the country is in a state of high cultivation. The cultivation of the lands of the Seiks was attended with each assiduity. Though the population be great, grain was cheaper in the Punjab than in any other part of India. The revenue was collected at two stated periods of six months each. 10 Writing in the early decade of the nineteenth century, John Malcolm mentions that in the collection of the revenue in the Penjab, the chief to whom the territories belong received one half of the produce. The chief never levies the whole of his share and in no country, perhaps, is the Rayat, or cultivator, treated with more indulgence. 11 During the reign of the great Mughal emperors, there appears three specialized methods for the assessment and the collection of land revenue namely batai, kankut and zabt. The first involved the division of the crop between the state and the cultivator after harvesting; the second concerned with the assessment of the share of the government on the basis of the standing crop before harvesting; and the third associated with fixed cash assessment per unit area. 12 Taking into account the whole of Punjab, it appears that the system of zabt was the most prevalent method for the assessment and the collection of land revenue during the early eighteenth century, followed by batai and kankut. In the case of kankut collection of revenue was generally made in cash. In the case of batai the share of the government could be sold on the sport. The rate of the assessment for kankut and batai was generally James Browne, History of the Origin and the Progress of the Sikhs, Early European Accounts of the Sikhs (ed.

4 one-half and the rate in the case of zabt was generally 40 percent of the estimated yield. 13 In the areas of the Sikh dominance, it appears that the methods adopted to determine the land revenue were simple and unscientific and every care was taken to protect the interest of the peasants. In this process, for the assessment and the collection of land revenue batai and kankut was more widely used as compared to zabt. 14 Similarly, all the three methods were in general use in the territories of the hill chiefs. In the territories of Jammu and Guler batai was prevalent. In the area around Kangra and Chamba kankut was prevalent. The collection of revenue from peasants in the hill principalities was obtained in both cash and kind. 15 Turning to some Muslim principalities we find all the three methods of assessment. In the areas around Mankera, Shahpur, Pakpattan and Multan batai system for the collection of revenue was generally exited; the system of kankut was in general use in the territories around Pindi Gheb, Rawalpindi and Jhang. From our sources it appears that revenue was collected under zabt in Muzaffargarh. 16 The zabt system was applied in the hills as well as in the Punjab plains. The Sikh Sardars applied this method to superior or cash crops like cotton, indigo, sugarcane, tobacco, poppy, safflower, chillies, oilseeds, pulses and vegetables. 17 In some of the Muslim dominated principalities like Multan and Pak Patan, revenues on cash crops like indigo and cotton too were collected in kind Noman Ahmad Siddiqi, Land Revenue Administration under the Mughals ( ), pp , 56 and 58.

5 Therefore, it appears that, almost everywhere the revenue was collected in the form of cash and kind. In this superstructure, however, the territories of the Sikh Sardars were also subjected. The batai was the prevalent method of assessment around Lahore and Sialkot while batai, kankut and zabt were the predominant method of assessment in Kapurthala. 19 In this connection there is a greater probability pertaining to the rate of assessment which was varied from place to place and from region to region but they were generally lower than what they had been in the Mughal times. Regarding the rate of assessment, according to John Malcolm, in the collection of revenue the chiefs received one-half of the produce. 20 For Instance, Sansar Chand of Kangra, Gujjar Singh of Gujrat, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia and the rulers of Sialkot collected one-half as revenue. But it appears, however, that it was less, going down to even one-fifth and one-sixth of the produce. Ranjit Dev of Jammu collected one-third and the Sial chief of Jhang and the rulers of Lahore collected one-fourth as their revenue. In the lower Sind Sagar Doab one-fifth or onesixth of the produce was collected by the chiefs of Mankera and Bahawalpur. In the poorer villages Bhangi Sardars took one-third or two-fifth. 21 In the contemporary government records we find that the Ryots of the Subah of Lahore pay one-fourth part of the produce of their lands; payments in cash was no Ram Sukh Rao, Fateh Singh Partap Prabhakar (ed.

6 longer in use, but the usage abovementioned was prevalent. It appears that the Ryots of the Subah of Lahore was contented and happy. 22 At Bannu a commutation in cash for one-third of the crop was taken and in the areas of Dera Ismail Khan and Kulachee as much as two-fifth of the amount from the cultivators taken in the form of revenue from land. 23 The revenue of the Jung territories had been for many years collected by kankut and it appears that in some places by money rates. Where the kankut system prevailed, from two to four seers for expenses was deducted in each mound in favour of the cultivator and the remainder divided in equal shares, one for the chief and the other for the cultivator. 24 In the Yusafzye area of Peshawar, it appears, however, that the revenue was collected with considerable difficulty, especially in the more distant part of the areas. The people were disobedience to their rulers, until the ijaradars or farmers were got rid of them. The mode of collecting revenue varies in every area. In Tooroo and Hootee half the produce was taken and in Loonkhore, the Maliks get little or nothing for themselves and only pay revenue at the point of Bayonet. Nevertheless, the amount extracted on these occasions being approximately 8000 rupees. In Amazaie and Razur the people paid partly on the produce and partly by a house tax which varies accordingly to the circumstances of the inmates; while in Punjtar and Ootman, the Khans pretend to fix the rates according to the season. But, in fact, screw all they can possibly get out of the Ryots, without endangering their own lives. Each Khan was a perfect despot as far as the management of little Khanship was concerned and in this connection the Khan imposed taxes, levies fines and in many instances punishes capitally without further reference. 25 The area around Sookhoo, in the northern part of the Sind Sagar Doab, the cultivators of all castes were miserably poor and in spite of it the revenue was most probably collected by kankut and nominally one half of the produce being taken. 26 In Foreign/Secret Consultation, 07 July 1797, No. 3.

7 the areas of Sorkanne, Muwilee, Murroo and Abzye the revenue was collected by the system of kankut and the assessment was varied between one-half to one-fourth of the produce, depending according to the nature of the soil and crop. 27 Similarly, the people of Kala paid their assessment by kankut. In the Jhelum the revenue was collected by kankut under Sikh rule and it amounted about to Rs. 13,500. Kankut was the general system of collection in the Rohtas district. Sugar cane, tobacco, vegetables were taxed at from three to four rupees per bigha and cotton at from one to two. 28 On crops of daily consumption such as fodder for cattle or vegetables or fruit, the normal charge was one rupee for one kacha bigha or a fixed quantity of the produce on cash crops such as cotton, sugarcane, poppy and indigo. Most probably a majority of the rulers preferred to realised their share in cash. The ruler s share was from one-third to one-half of the total produce. 29 The government share in batai and kankut could be commuted into cash if the cultivator agreed. In this case the rate of assessment on the average was two-fifth. 30 Thus, there was a clear shift towards batai and kankut and a lower rate of assessment in the late eighteenth century. The variation in the rates of assessment from region to region was owing to differences in the condition of soil, mode of irrigation and the expense of cultivation. 31 The Sikh Sardars introduced some practices for the extension of cultivation and the collection of revenue. A special practice was known as inam. In a newly acquired territory a Sikh Sardar did not find himself strong enough to subdue the cultivators, he would come to terms with the influence of the locality granting them half of the state revenue of certain villages or parts of the village or exempting a plough or two of the cultivator from assessment. Such men were called chaudharis or inamdars. They always assisted the Sardars in ascertaining the resources of the Loc.cit. Loc.cit.

8 village, in collecting revenue and in maintaining law and order. These grants lasted as long as the grantees remained alive. 32 In another practice, the Bhangi Sardars employed the practice of farming out a land to ijaradars, under leasing a few villages here and there for a certain cash payment to some persons possessing local importance, who made their own arrangements for collecting revenues according to kankut or batai. 33 Before the division of the crop between the state and the cultivator deductions were made for the expenses of cultivation. In this connection, Pachotra or the five percent share of the chaudharis or the muqaddam come into vision. We find references of taking pachotra in Jhelum, Pukowal and Rohtas areas in the northern part of the Sind Sagar Doab. 34 In addition to, the fee of the weighman and carriage were charged from the cultivator. The ruler s share in the case of indigo was assessed in cash per maund. This share was called moghla and was prevalent under the chiefs of Bahawalpur State. It was generally fixed at five rupees per maund. 35 The general rate, on the whole, at which a Sikh Sardar realised his share of produce, was one-third of grain and one-fourth of straw. But there is every possibility of the varying degree of rates and this depended largely according to the vicissitudes of the market price. Administrative Machinery for the Collection of Revenue/Money In order to take benefit and advantage from land revenue, it was necessary to create conditions of peace and order within the respective territories of the various rulers. In the absence of the officials and functionaries for establishing law and order there was a possibility of spreading anarchy and chaos which resulted in the collapse of financial administration. For this purpose, the Sikh Sardars appointed faujdars in Surjit Singh Gandhi, Sikhs in the Eighteenth Century, p Veena Sachdeva, The Rule of the Bhangis ( ), M. Phil. Dissertation, p. 68. Foreign/Secret Consultation, 28 April 1848, Nos Major J.G.

9 different parts of their territories. It appears that the faujdars were assisted by thanadars who taken control of small garrisons particularly at key points or forts or at strategic areas. Related to the financial matters, there are references in the Sikh principalities of the diwan, who was designated as official receiver in the process of the collection of land revenue. It is likely to assume that the office of the diwan continued from the Mughal times or come into being when the Sikh Sardars or various new rulers establish as independent and settled their territories. In relation to the various Sikh Sardars there are references to the office of the diwans under Charhat Singh and Mahan Singh at Gujranwala, under Jassa Singh and Bhag Singh at Kapurthala, under Milkha Singh at Rawalpindi, under Hari Singh and Jhanda Singh at Amritsar, under Haqiqat Singh and Jaimal Singh at Fatehgarh Churian, and Jai Singh Kanhiya at Batala. 36 In the territories occupied by the Bhangi Sardars we find references to diwans under Hari Singh, Jhanda Singh, Gujjar Singh and Sahib Singh. Gujjar Singh kept under control Gujrat for nearly thirty three years. To serve him as diwans were Sobha Ram Handa for eight years; Dilbagh Singh for ten years and Sharda Ram for five years. During Sahib Singh s rule, the diwans were Ratan Chand, a Brahman who served for nine years; Chait Singh, a Kalal who served for nine years and Mohkam Chand, a Khatri who served for two years. Diwan Guttu Mal served Gujjar Singh and Sahib Singh throughout his whole life. His son served Sahib Singh as a diwan till 1810 when Ranjit Singh took possession of the Bhangi Sardar s territories Ram Sukh Rao, Jassa Singh Binod, MS.

10 There are references to the diwans of Muslim principalities of Jhang, Leia and Mankera. Diwan Bhawani Das served under the Sial chief Inayat Ullah Khan and diwan Laddha Ram served under Muhammad Khan Jaskani. Similarly, diwan of Mankera was Manak Rai who was later appointed as the administrator of Dera Ismail Khan. 38 Before long, the kardar became an important functionary for the collection of revenues. The diwan was assisted by kardar and the principal function of the kardar was to oversee the collection of revenue and to establish law and order within his jurisdiction. It appears, however, that during the successive invasions of Ahmad shah Abdali the revenue affairs of the Punjab was fell into unsatisfactory state. The kardar seem to be under no control and at any rate they send or paid no revenue to the higher authority. He paid as little and collects as much as he can. He was supposed every reason to make up his accounts and remit to the higher authority what he had collected, after deducting certain required expenses. It is likely to assume that if he was a man of ability under a weak government in times of confusion and anarchy or if he had friends at the ruler s court he had often render no account for a course of years, but just pay in what he pleases. 39 In this connection, the native kardars and revenue officials were the most designing and unscrupulous of men. 40 For preparing revenue assessment records the services of old qanungos were utilized in revenue administration by the various rulers. Karori Mal, for instance, was the qanungo of Eminabad under Charhat Singh Sukerchakia; Jai Singh was the qanungo of Wazirabad under Jodh Singh Wazirabadia; Kishan Chand was the qanungo of Batala under Jassa Singh Ramgarhia; Jawala Sahai was the qanungo of Gogera under Kamar Singh Nakkai; Pahar Mal was the qanungo of Sujanpur under E.B.

11 Amar Singh Bagga; Shiv Dayal Handa was the qanungo of Gujrat under Gujjar Singh; in another reference Ismatullah was the qanungo of Gujrat under Gujjar Singh. Existence of more than one qanungo of Gujrat under Gujjar Singh made a helpful suggestion for the possibility of taking services for preparing revenue assessment records where the territorial area was larger. 41 The chaudharis find mention in relation to the large number of principalities associated with the Sikh Sardars. Roop Chand served under Fateh Singh Ahluwalia; Usman Khan and Jhanda Singh served under Jai Singh Kanhiya; Ahmad Khan find mention under Kapur Singh Saurianwala. Ghulam Qadir served under Jodh Singh Wazirabadia and Suba Khan served under Bagh Singh Hallowalia. Rahmat Khan Waraich, the chaudhari of Jalalpur, served under Gujjar Singh Bhangi; Dasaunda Khan, the Rajput chaudhari of Chamiari, served under Nar Singh Chamiariwala; Teeka Khan, the chaudhari of Talwandi, served under Bagh Singh Hallowalia; Khudadad Khan and Yadgar Khan carried out duties as the chaudharis at Firozke under Sudh Singh China. It is interesting to note that the Bhangi Sardars employed the services of the chaudharis residing at different muhallas in connection with the better and efficient administration of the some towns. In this context, it appears that the chaudharis used to be enjoyed the status of superiority over different occupational classes. Their views hold strong base on all momentous matters in relation to the growth and development of town and the area surrounded by its vicinity. The eminent and famous chaudharis of Lahore were Mian Muhammad Ashiq, Mian Mohkam Din, Mir Shadi Khan and Mir Badar-ud-din. 42 To provide help and assistance to abovementioned officials and to facilitate the collection of revenue there was muqaddam in every village of the Punjab. It is all probability that most of the former muqaddams were allowed to perform their customary functions by the various Sikh and non-sikh rulers. A small number of muqaddams were functioning as variable capacity at different times under the Foreign/Political Proceeding, 09 January 1857, No. 274; Ganesh Das, Char- Bagh- i- Panjab (tr. Amarwant Singh), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, p. 131 (in typescript). Foreign/Political Proceeding, 27 May 1853, No. 208; Foreign/Political Proceeding, 03 June 1853, No. 119; J. S.

12 various rulers: Bahadur Singh under Jai Singh Kanhiya, Naurang Singh under Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, Yar Singh under Gurbakhsh Singh Wazirabadia, Sahib Khan under Nar Singh Chamiariwala, Nur Burhan under Ran Singh Nakkai, Gulab Singh Gill under Gulab Singh Bhangi, and Muhammad Din under Lehna Singh Bhangi. 43 Ahmad Shah Abdali indirectly transferred his conquered territories to local chiefs for the collection of revenue. Shuja-ul-Mulk had been paying him a huge amount in the form of tribute or revenue. 44 After the sack and plunder of the city of Sirhind by the Sikhs, Ahmad Shah Abdali bestowed it upon to Ala Singh, granting him revenue free territory for one year and accepted only presents from him. 45 The vassals of the Ahmad Shah Abdali such as Daman Shah, Ghulam Ali, Ghulam Muhammad Patafi and Fateh Khan Naurang were responsible for the collection of revenue in the territories around the Deras (Ghazi Khan and Ismail Khan) and their sole purpose was to extract maximum money as far as possible from the peasants. In this process, according to Qazi Nur Muhammad, they practised malpractices and used coercion and consequently impoverished the peasantry. 46 The version of Qazi Nur Muhammad gives very interesting information about Daman Shah who devised a curious strategy to get information with regard to the economic condition of the people. In the guise of a beggar he used to visit every house at night, to take record of the house from where he got good meal, considering him prosperous and thriving. He used to visit the house in the morning with his troops to plunder the householder.

13 condition of the people deteriorated further and they probably become beggars. 47 The beggars were also uttering curse against him. With the objective of plundering people, he even used the services of his maid servants to misguide and entangle young men of the city, then hold and charge money as punishment from them. 48 Ghulam Ali, according to Qazi Nur Muhammad, was a wolf in lamb s skin. 49 Ghulam Muhammad Patafi realized the fear from the Shah Abdali and his troops. He oppressed the people to a greater extent in the matter of collecting money. Similarly, Fateh Khan Naurang was not less oppressed the people in the process of acquiring money. 50 Qazi Nur Muhammad pointed out that Ahmad Shah Abdali conferred some fiefdoms to some revered persons who were capable to facilitate him in the collection of revenue, providing support in the effective functioning of administration and in times of war, sending the stipulated quota of contingents. Rahman Khan was the fief holder in the areas of Dera Jani in Shikarpur. Ahmad Shah Abdali ordered him to arrange food and forage for the troops while the armies were passing through Shikarpur. 51 Nasir Din and Hameed Nowbahar, the two sons of Shah Sultan Ali alias Ranjan Shah were enjoying the revenue of Shikarpur Sani and they too provided assistance to the royal armies. They undertook expedition and accompanied the Baluch armies. 52 For the collection of revenue easily and effectively Ahmad Shah Abdali appointed kardars. For instance, Ghulam Hussain Khan was serving as a kardar in the regions of Deras and Shikarpur Sani. 53 From the working of the kardars it appears that they were assigned vast areas to perform their duties Ibid., Chapter 15 (Lines 22-28).
