Meaning of BHAGDARl

BHAGDARl

Language - Hindi

Tamil Word - பாக்டாரி

A system of land tenure where lands are divided into large sections called 'bhags'. The 'bhagdars' (landholders within a bhag) are collectively responsible for paying the government's revenue demands assigned to their division. This system was historically used in parts of Tamil Nadu, influencing land ownership and tax collection. It fostered a sense of community responsibility among the 'bhagdars' within each 'bhag'.
