A person to whom land revenue of any land has been assigned in whole or part by Govt is?

A. Village servant
B. Zamindar
C. Village headman
D. Jagirdar
Correct Answer: C. Village headman

In historical land revenue systems, a Jagirdar was a person to whom the right to collect land revenue from a specific area (a 'jagir') was assigned by the government, either in whole or in part, often in return for services rendered or as a grant. This system was prevalent during the Mughal era and continued in various forms.

  • A Zamindar was typically a landlord who owned land and collected revenue from tenants, often with hereditary rights.
  • A Village headman (or Lambardar) was a local official responsible for collecting revenue and maintaining order in a village, but not necessarily assigned revenue rights over land.
  • A Village servant performed various duties for the village community.

Therefore, 'Jagirdar' accurately describes the person assigned land revenue by the government.
