So it says "As most zamindars were Hindus, the Muslim peasantry, who formed the majority of the population in the countryside, was vehemently against zamindars." But where is a source to support this? I have been researching this and have been unable to find a definitive source saying that it was either mostly Muslim or Hindu, or a mix. What supports this? -- 98.169.83.230 ( talk) 18:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
This article confuses Zamindari with Jagirdari 68.249.31.22 16:48, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The literal meaning of the words may be different, but not everytime was a zamindar under a jagirdar. If you go through J D Shifton survey on Hazaribagh, or Ghatwali tenures in mungyer or santhal pargana, you will find many jagirs were created by the zamindars, as the zamindars had many autonomous rights within their estate from policing to maintaining army (army was only partially abolished after permanent settlement and completely abolished after revolt of 1857)and granting service tenure to its subjects and also during Mughal era a chieftain/ ruling rajah of a princely state were also called zamindars. — Preceding

Is it relevant to mention things like Devdas Mukherjee's family in the novel were Zamindars? Or, are there other important examples? gren グレン 04:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
This is not to undermine your work; but I read the article several times and I still don't understand exactly how it works, least of all how it works today in Pakistan.
I think it needs a little more elaboration. Thanks.
I saw that in the article there were written Wadara and Labardar, I corrected to the spellings Wadera and Lambardar. For example, a part of the Sindhi ancestors of Benazir Bhutto from her father's side were Wadera. Desiphral-देसीफ्राल 10:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Section British era, second para:
No, they aren't! In my eyes, this British era Zamindari system seems much more like the Roman Empire tax collection system. Similarities to medieval feudalism are very far from evident, since the land lords of feudalism could choose to keep all money for themselves and instead erect a local military to fulfill the same service. ... said: Rursus ( bork²) 15:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
The Zamindari in British Era was similar to British aristocracy. The barons, earls and other social members of aristocracy/ landed gentry did not keep armies, but are feudal lords. The Zamindars in Mughal era were completely different, they were more like vassals as they maintained autonomy and had big armies. Infact many times they even revolted against the Emperor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.35.241.212 ( talk) 15:53, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Zamindar from zimmi? Not according to the American Heritage Dictionary. — The Man in Question (gesprec) · (forðung) 20:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
No the law didnt take effect in the 70s. The zamindari system was abolished in the 50s by the east pakistan government. Bangladesh consitution does not have a clause relating to land owenership of geovernment/individual. Some one please change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.130.27.37 ( talk) 09:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
AND WHO TOOK OFF Dhaka Nawab Family and Raja Tridev Roy from the article??? This was to make a point about the powerful zamindars of Bangladesh, who someone (without citation) disagrees to and hence erased. LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE! ( Rajshahi jela ( talk) 09:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC))
This phrase, particularly 'enormous' seemed doubtful as it is: one, unencyclopedic, and two: a Monty Python reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.157.138 ( talk) 01:52, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

The relation of Zamindars with Mughal emperor is from a reliable source and more addition is welcome but removing a reliable information from wikipedia is not appreciated. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.35.241.212 ( talk) 15:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Well I have copy pasted as I was unaware that we can not copy paste from a source. I will try to edit using my words. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.35.241.212 ( talk) 15:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Wadera is a redirect to this article. But there is no explanation as to why. So what does wadera have to do with zamindar? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
'The term itself came into use during the reign of Mughals and later the British had begun using it as a native synonym for “estate”.'
Shouldn't it be 'estate owner/holder'? 87.126.21.225 ( talk) 06:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
This edit-1 was made and Ahir caste was added in usual zamindars which is unsourced as it never mentioned them as one, also the source used here was of Raj era and it mentioned " in Ain-i-akbari the only mahals which are said to have Ahir Zamindars are Nagina and Sardhana but at present time there's not a Single landholder in the Sardhana tahsil " This directly refutes Ahir's claim that they were usual Zamindars.
This edit-2 was made and The Raj era Source was Removed and another Source was added which said "indeed, the parganah of ahrorah, in the latter district, though now without Ahir Zamindars, Derives its name from them being called Ahirwada in anceint records " This statement too simply identifies them as having Zamindaries in a specific area and does not include any points to support the claim that Ahirs were the usual Zamindars.
Adding Ahir Caste here disturbs the pre-existing quote From 1 . Aditya Prakash-080 ( talk) 07:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
