The Agrarian System of Moslem India: A Historical Essay with Appendices c19.13

c19.13

It may be noted that this southern account of the work of Todar Mal is not in agreement with the *Maāsīrulumra*, which was also compiled in the Deccan during the eighteenth century. The description there given (i. 127) is clearly condensed from the Aīn and the Akbarnāma, and gives no support to the view that the Rāja’s methods included differential Sharing. I have found no other relevant passage in the literature, so that the account in Khwāfī Khān appears to stand alone; and, taking its date and locality into account, it cannot be accepted as contradicting the contemporary evidence on which I have relied in Chapter IV.
