Solution
The correct option is D 1400
About 1400 villages were directly under the Nizam as his personal jagir. They expanded the scope of vetti or unpaid labour by forcing ordinary peasants and village artisan and service castes to work on landlord's lands. The large landlords were called 'Doras'. Jagir was a type of feudal land grant in the Indian subcontinent at the foundation of its Jagirdar (Zamindar) system.
