The majority of the state servants both in civil and military

servlces Ylere paid their tankht:~ (salary) in the form of ravenue

assignmants, and the bulk of the state territory consisted of vil­

lages assigned in tankhv:ah _.jagirs,

The areas earmarlred as jj!:gir in the state fluctuated from 1

season to season and year to year. The increase or decrease of

the area under .:'i!aiir depsnded upon the requirements in a given

oituation. 1:-...Iring the pariod unor study there was considerable

inc:raase in the area assigned in _.iagir due to internal disorders

and constant !.Iaratha incursions. The extent of the area held in

.J~ir and the fluctuations in the number of villages assigned in

,iagir can be seen in table 1.

The majority of the _jagirdars r.ere Kachhaua Rajputs l7ho be-

longed to the ruling clan. Persons belonging to various Kachhawa

sub-clans held .jagirs usually in areas uhere they were settled and

uere the dominant clan. In order to break the domination of a

pa~'icular sub-clan in a particular area the ruler occasionally

assigned .~1agirs in that area to persons of another sub-clan. Such

moves v,re~ adopted by the ruler to avoid the monopoly of a recal­

citrant sub.....clsn..2

The extent of .:iat!:irs held by the members of

different clans and castes is to be found in Table II.

The Jagir assignnrent uas made through a sanad which contained

the terms and conditions of the assignm2nts and the obligations or

the assignees. The sanads can bs divided into two categories - (e)

sanadi tankhwah jagir ki or jagir in lieu of service and (b) sanadi

J~ir ghar baithan ki or jagir without any service obligations.

Tankhwah ~gir was assigned in lieu of both civil and military 1

services and was conditional on the performance of the service. It

uas subject to resumption at the nill of the state. It could be

transferred, curtailed or extended at any tinre by the ruler. In

majority of casesg the rasumption of t&nkhwah jagir did not take

place. Usually the tankhwah .i!!girs remained with the assignee for

2 a long term and ware held by them at hast for their life time.

Thus the Rajpu·t system of .. ]agir assignments differed from the Mughal

system in the sense that under the :.1ughals the .Jagirdars were cons­

tantly transferred after short per1ods so that a particular assign-

~nt uas seldom held by the sam3 person for more than three or four 3 years. In a number of cases the tankhuah jagirs tended to become

more or less hereditaey; those of the kachhaua Rajputs r.ere almost /..

permanent.·· The assignees r.e:re requi rad to pay a fixed annual

uhich the ass igtm3 nt was made •

In the sanads the :pariod of assignment were not ~ntioned. The

amils r.are instructed not to demand the sanad from the ,jagirdars

1 every year. Houever, the patels o:r the assigned villages v:era

instructed not to parmit the assignees to collect the basil until 2

they produced the sanad garar vakai~ From this we may assume that

the sanad for jagir had to bs renewed every year. However, in a

number of cases v:e find that the assignees were not required to

rene\J their sanads every year. In many casss assignments even tended

to bee o:n:a hereditary and uere treated as being mora or less p2r-

These sanads and successive confirmatory orders indicate that

the resumption of jagir did not take place in majority of the cases

during the second half of the 18th century in the state of Jaipur.

There is also soma evidence to show that certain .~.jagir assignm2nts

tended to be hereditary. 3 ~us it can be concluded from the above

that the assignm.2nt system of the Rajput rulers, though influenced

to a considerable e~tent by the ~.lughal practices, uas not entirely

based on the concept of service. However, the aspect of service

obligation i:CO all7ays emphasised and asserted by the rulers. Still

the clan ties and kinship relations pleyed an important part in the

actual uorking of the Jggirdari system of the state. The majority

of the ,i_girdars were draun by the ruh rs from his own clansman uho

also had local connections and ties.

The J~ira r-are also not subject to frequent transfers as a

Since the majority of J~irdars already had local interest and local

tendency tov:ards hereditary asoignmants~ co:nparati vely greater

The !!!..!! figures were different from the ,iama figures worked out by

the }.1ughal revenue administration for the purpose of revenue assign­

ments. ~ figures were also available for those areas which did

not form a part of the watan of Jaipur rulers. These rulers also

got their own ,iama figures prepared even for the areas held by

them in tankhwah .iagir, officially term2d as ..!!!!! for the purpose

of subassignnent of jagirs to their kith and kin serving under 1

them.

It appears that the .:£!.!! figures uorked out by the administra­

tion of Jaipur Maharaja were inflated as compared to the ,iama figures

ascertained by the J~.iughal revenue administration. The ,iama figures

bet':'een the 1!.!! and the 't'lasuli or basi 1 (see table IV). The wide

gap bett"".·ee n these tuo figures leads to the conclusion that the !.!!'!

msntal to the uorking of the administration and of the jagirdar:!.

system uhich, in term, reduced considerably the military efficiency

of the rulers. These uould be discussed in detail later.

A convincing explanation about the reasons of the wide gap

betueen the tan and wasuli seems to be that the ~ figures uere

An enterprising _jagirdar t:ould increasa the basil of the ,jagir

to some extent t!.l:..~ough his psrsonal effortss by bringing fallou

lands under cultivation, This was true of small jagirdars who

took to plough with a vier. to increasing their income, They culti­

vated fall ow land either in the capacity of gharuhalas or in san.1h a

and also allotted land to their retainsrs for cultivation, who, as 1

cultivators, were lrnov.rn as .m,sidal's of the iagirda~. They also

tried to attract palliS and paltis from other villages, 2

The .,!jag=i,r assigWII.3nts in the state were not transferred as

frequently as under the Mughal s. The _.jagirs were held for longer 3 tet""ms, The duration of jagir assignnrent usually ranged from 10

to 50 years (see appsndix I). Theoretically the _jagirdar was in

a position to pu?sue a fa:Lsighted agrarian policy in his _.1agir

since he had a long-term interest in the :ravenue paying capacity

of his .j~_gir .... ~urther, in many cases, the zamindars of certain

Anothe:t" important aspact of the tan mauza is the tan qara:t"s

or month rate of the ta~.. The documgnts f~quently refer to thrae

·;~,r_fso of garars v~z. tan qaTar dahmaha (10 months), tan garar ath 1

~ (8 months) and tan garar chhe maha {6 months). Again little

information is available regarding the manner in uhicli the amount

of variu~s tan ~aTars was calculated and commuted into differen~

tyP3S of tan garar, Since no arlthmotical proportion was prevalent

among different tan garars (see table VI). The tan garars are

given in tuo sets of figures viz, the garars of ill figures and tlle

garars of tan uasuli figures. There is no proportionate relation-

ship betueen the figures of .9.arars both of tan and tan wasuli., How­

ever~ the method of calculation seems to have differed in i!.!!._and

tan uasuli figures. The study of the tan-qarar figures for a number

of years, for different ~anA does not indicate the method by uhich

these v:are calculated. On the other hand, the mathod of calculating

tan uasuli gerers is rnntioned in the documants, The tan uasuli

The tan qarar l7asuli were instituted for the purposs of increas­

ing the obligati..iOS of the .!ia,girdars vrithout any corresponding

incraase in the amount of tan nasuli. The jagirdar was required to

fulfil his obligation on the basis of tan uasuli garars. The holders

of tan garar chhe maha had to maintain more horses, etc. in compa­

The documents relating to the assignmants of jagir classified

the revenua assignments often into t't'lo categories i.e. (1) tan mauza 1

in ~agir darobast and (2) tan mauza in ~~ir sarikat,

In case the revenue assignment was made in darobast, the entire

tan of the village was assigned to one or more assignees at a time

and the number of co-assignees could exceed seven,as given in the

following examples:

The combined control of a number of ,.ja_girdars over a village created

problems for the holders of .JMir., Documents are full of instances

l7here the co-assignees had disputes 't"lith one another on the sharing 1

of the produce. Sollt3 times these disputes led to the ruination of

standing crops. HOTYever, in the case of a request from co-assignees,

their respective shares T'lere clearly demarcated by the tapdar and

the share of each assignee l"!as knm:rn as .12atti. According to the

The extent of _,jagir assignmtmts in darobast far exceeded the revenue

assignmants in jagir mauza Sar:i,lrat (table VII).

In tan mauza .jooir sari kat s the tan of the village was partly

assigned in .1agir to one or more assignees and partly it remained

in khalisa~ r;nen more than half of the anount of tan of the nm.uza

uas assigned in ~9 it YJas considered to be tan-.1agir-sarikat.

The pattern can be seen by the follouing examples:

Thus in such assignments the village uould be under dual adm1nis-

the patt,, khalisa. ld, on 1.1.!!.rn in month oaraxs, so as to create a

compact revenue unit and to avoid dual control of the khalisa offi­

cials and the . .ia,girdar... It can be seen by follm7ing examples:

Fiscal obligations of the jagirdars:

Apart from the sarvice obligations, the ,i.!!girdars also owed

certain fiscal obligations to the state. They were required to pay

a fixed annual amount as .1'2 shlcasl~, generally payable in mo seasonal

instalments to the stateo4

In a.ddition to the payment of ,PeShkash, 5

the jagirdars also had to pay a fixed amount as matami dues to the 6

fully paid.

The .aiAgirdars uere occasionally required to pay some amount

to the state tihenever a marriage took place in the royal family.

At the time of marriage of royal princes, the ,jagirdars were re­

quired to pay~ according to the tan of the jagir and didhotra 1

at the rate of 1.5% of the tan wasuli 0 During this period the

state frequently demanded one month's income of the Jagir from the

Jagirdars, with a view to raising larger amount to be paid to the 2 lAaratha intruders as a price of peace. These regular and occasional

fiscal obligations imposed a heavy strain on the financial resources

of the jagi rdars and resulted in the accumu:t.ation of large amount 3

of arrears.

Relations with the village community:

As stated earlier the jagirdars held their jagirs for a long

period. In many cases the iagirs were hereditary. Besides, many

.1agirdars v.rere also zamindars exercising zamindari as well as

.Ja_girdari rights simultaneously over the sama ·area. Moreover, in

many cases, the o!iagirdars were directly participating in the work

of agricultural production by holding gharu kasht in the Jagir

ges, the above mentioned facts will have to be taken into conside­

ration, Under such conditions, a jagirdar, who had long-term

interest in the jagir and was also a cultivator, his interest being

identical 'With those of the other riaya, was inclined to pursue a

farsighted agrarian policy in his ,1agir territory. In many cases

the _.ja,girdars made efforts to improve cultivation in order to en-2

hance the jama of the jagir village. This does not mean that the

'flhe conflict between the _jegirdar and tbe raiyat steiiillmd from

several factors. The major factor was the rate of land revenue and

other cessas. It uas not unusual on the part of the _jagirdars to

demand revenue and other cust o:nary cesses at rates higher than the

customary, Such attempts resulted in a conflict between them and 1 ~

the raiyat. Sometimes, disputes arose out 1\unauthori zed be gar

extracted by the jagirdars from the paltis and by demanding consu-2

1 jagirdar .. A dispute between the raiyat and the .1agirdar of the

village of Bhatneri regarding the rate of malba was decided by the

village .IJ!lncbayat ar.::l. the :1agirdar was also instructed by the state 2

to abide by the decision of the paoohavat ~.

Clashes bet\7een the jagi rdar and the pate 1 took p:J,ace when the

latter refused to give the jagirda~ the possession of his JR~3

However, in majority of the cases, dispute betueen them arose at 4

the time of assessmant of the land revenue and other cesses. Soma-

timas the _Jagirdar complained against the 12-atel that the latter l7as 5 heavily assessing the xaiyat and in others it was the patel uho

lodged complaint against the jagirdar on account of over assessment .. 6

They ca-.1ld also come into conflict when the .tjggirdar tried to constuct

his kotrl in the jagir village, even uith tire state's approval. The

construction of kotri was regarded as a trait of acquiring zamindari

fearing that it would increase the burden of cesses on them. Some-

tima s the jagirdar disputed with the zamindar of the neighbouring

2 village regarding the village boundary: There were also instances

uhen the .jagirdars tried to usurp customary rights of the mtel, the 3

betr.een the 4~irdars and other sections of the rural society are as cited earlier.

The jagirdars and the raiyats on many occasions collaborated

m. th each other for their common economic interest. '1'here were

instances when the jagirdars took ijara with the entire village 1

community as partners. On other occasions they either directly

provided the x-a;f.yat r.i th loans2 or stood malzamini to the maha,jans

for the safe return of loans borrowed by the .;r.:aiyat o

3 Sometimes

the village community advanced loans to the jagirdar, who needed 4

it to pay the state dues. In other cases the .jagirdar requested

the state to grant relief to the raiyat at the time of famine,

drought etc • 5

The .Jagirdar T7as also closely associated with the social life

of the rural population and performed certain social ceremonies on

behalf of the Taiyat, It was the jagirdar•s customary obligation

to beat the drum at the tint3 of the arrival or departure of a

marriage procession in the village. 'J.'he marriage party could not

6 leave the village unless the ceremony of Dhol had been parfOrJI15d.

times the jagirdar refused to parform the ceremony of ~ and 1

the raiya;t nere put into great trouble. Some~times they used this

occasion as an opportunity to exploit the raiyat by demanding mar-2

arose in the vill~eo Surat Ram Siyobrahmpota the jagirdar of the

village of Nivod Sarai arbitrated in a dispute between the money 3

zamindars regarding the village boundary. 4:

The jagirdar was assigned a terri tory expacted to yield revenue

equivalent to his salary claim. Hcmever, in the majorl ty of cases

ganungos, patels, ?>antindars etc. in the payment of their customary

cesses according to the tan figures of the village. They harassed 1

the 1agirdar and the ;raiyat on this ground.

Sometimes the state officials arbitrarily raised the ~ 2

mauza in a particular year. Once a girdar represented to the

darbar that be had always been losing revenue in the .1agi r but 1 n

the year the representation was made the jama had decreased c onsi­

derably beyond his capacity to sustain the loss. He was granted a

r1. 3 takhfif at the rate of 75,o.

During this period, on account of the ever widening gap bet-

r.een the tan and basi 1 and a decrease in the produce, which t:as a

result of the l!aratha incursion, it became impossible for the

.lagirdar,s to discharge their service obligations. The state vras

no longer in a position to meet their salary claims. The problem

r.as so acute that the ,iagirdars were granted compulsory leave for

one year and the jagirdari system became ineffective for som2 tima.

This state of affairs was even, in a uay, admitted by the darbar.

red to the depopulation and devastation of the villages and also

to the fact that the .1AAirdars were not able to receive any revenue 1

which forced them not to render service.

It is evident that there uas a decline in the military effi-

ciency of the jagirdars and an increase in their indebtedness to 2

the ~8.ha.1ans from whom they borron~d money on high rates of interest.

Thus, due to their financial problemsp many ,1agirdar mortgaged or

sold away their horses and muslcetse 3

The sarikat assignments also created problems for the ,jagirdars.

t1ork1ng of the Jagirdari System in tlre State:

The position of the jagirdars in the state was of considerable /'

importance./ The majority of the .1 e,girdars be longed to the Kachhal7a

clan. Though the rulers of the state emphasised and asserted the

service obligations, the relationship between the two was, to a

considerable extent 11 influeooed by the ties of kinship •• This inference

is further corroborated by the fact that the J!mi rs of the Kachhawas

oore he~d for longer terms and even tended to become hereditary.

'~Jagirdars 11 when their position in relation to the state is

analysed 11 can be divided into two categories. In the first category

nere the Kachhaua nobles, who, apart from their tankhwalt jagirs, 1

also held hereditary watan zaminda~tp or thikanafiA They v.are the

kith and kin of the !Jaharaja. To some extent their inherent rights

to the thikanas 1-rere entertained by the Maharaja but the concept of

service was also emphasised. The thikanadars were also required

to maintain a fixed number of horses for the service of the hlaharaja

and the iooom2 of their thikana uas adjusted in the amount of salary

ubich the Jag!rdar was expacted to get.~ Their .JMirs comprised

both of the thikana as we 11 as other villages. However, the thikana

was practically immune from transfer but the other jagir area could

be transferred, curtailed or extended. The rulers, at the same tim2$

asserted their right to confiscate the thikana on grounds of dis-

1. Thikana Records, Thikana Dhula and Barwara, Jaipur.

loyalty. The thikanadars uere equally required to obtain a sanad

from the state for the assignment of the .Jagir which was to be

renewad at the tinre of succession to the jagir by the heir of a

1 deceased .1agirdar ...

Thus the relationship between the tuo was partly on the basis

of kinship ties and partly on the ruler's assertion of service obli-

gation. However, this delicate relationship between the ruler and

the thikanadars depended on the p0\7er and psrsonali ty of a parti-

cular Uaharaj~ St:rai :Madho Singh successfully asserted his right

to take regular service from the leading thikanadars of the state

and compelled them to enter into contract with the ruler, thereby

undertaking not to serve either under the Mughals or in any other

state Vlithout obtaining prior permission of the ruler and also

imposed a ban on the thikanadars to enter into direct relationship

with the !.Iughal Emperors. Non;compliance of the agreel!l9nt, uas

treated as an act of faithlessll9ss and liable to punishment. 2 Sanads

and other relevant documents show that 1\:Iadho Singh succeeded in

implementing this policy to a considerable extent. The title of

Houeve r, by taking advantage of the minority rule after :Jadho

thikanadars tried to exploit the situation inorder to strengthen 1

their posl.tion and defied the state. They evaded service to the

:.=a;_,ara.'l! and also :refrained from attendance at the darbar. 2 ~Jany

of the .Jagirdars usurped large tracts of khali sa lands and even made

attempts to carve out their independent principalities. Rao Pratap

Singh Naruka of Ma.chheri founced the state of Alwar by usurping a

number of ,Pa.rgana.s belonging to the Jaipur ~Jaharaja, whose position

~as so weak at this juncture that not only the Kachhawa jagirdars

exploited the anarchic condition for their selfish motives but even

sonre of the Rathor sardars of Jodhpur who had taken shelter under

the Jaipur hlaharaj~ and had been given jagirs, forcibly occupied

sm k.balisa villages in the 112ighbourhood of their jagirs,_3 Some

thikanada.rs also entered into direct relationship ui th the Mughals

and received ma.nsab from the !.!ughal Emperor though these mansa.bs

were noi7 symbolic. Rao Vikramadi tya Rajar.a.t received the mansab of .d.

continued till the British protection r.as extended to the state.

The aecond category of the j~irdars uere those who held only

tankhTiah jagirs1, By and large they were small j_agirdarfJ_ holding

the entire revenue of a village or a part of it in tankhuah.. They

belonged to miscellaneous castes and clans, though a majority among

them rrere Kachhawa. Their position entirely depended on the per­

foJrmance of service. Individually these Jagirdars were of minor

importance. They '\7ere also not in a sound economic condition as

the only major source of their income was the tankh'flah .1agir,_ Per­

sonally they remained loyal to the state as they did not possess

sufficient resources to defy it •

It is evident from the above di~ussion that the jagirdari

system prevalent in the state of Jaipur, though modelled on the

Mughal system of ~tagir, was deeply influenced by clan ties. Hence~

it 'flaB not entirely based on service obligations, though the concept

of service r.as scaght to be emphasized by the rulers. The jagirdars

uho had strong local connections could use them to defy the ruler.

During the pariod under study, the economic condition of the ,jag;ir­

dars ue.s adversely affected by a number of factors, notably the

!·!aratha incursions,decline in revenue, the resulting widening gap

betr.een the t.J!P and the basil.. This situation caused discontent

and dissatisfaction among the .!jagirdars and seriously strained the

administration. The jagirdari system began to breakdown with the

,jagi rdars refusing or un\71 lling to fulfil their obligations. Houever,

only a fer. of the pouerful jagirdars tried to convert their jagirs

into independent states • ..__/___.
