Q88.
Who among the following was/were associated with the introduction of Ryotwari Settlement in India during the British Rule? 1. Lord Cornwallis 2. Alexander Read 3. Thomas Munro Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer
C
Explanation
The ryotwari system was tried on a small scale by Captain Alexander Reed in some areas taken over by the Company after the wars with Tipu Sultan. Subsequently developed by Thomas Munro, this system was gradually extended all over south India. Lord Cornwallis was associated with the Zamindari/Permanent Settlement, not Ryotwari. Hence only 2 and 3 are correct.
