Question

Why was goal of equity not fully achieved even after abolition of intermediaries ?

Answer 1

1. In some areas, the former zamindars continued to own large areas of land while making use of some loopholes in the legislation.

2. In some cases, tenants were evicted and zamindars claimed to be self cultivators.

3. Even after getting the ownership of land, the poorest of the agricultural labourers did not benefit from land reforms.
