Rural class structure
During the medieval period the entire rural population was divided into two
broad classes, i.e. the big land-holders who collected land revenue from
peasants in addition to owning tax-free land and the masses comprising peasants,
artisans and landless labourers. The big land-holders constituted the rural
segment of the ruling class headed by emperor and his nobles. They were
known as
mugaddam and chaudhuri during the Sultanate period and
deskhmukh, patil, nayak
and usually malik during the Mughal period. They
had a good life without directly participating in the process of production.
They collected land tax from the peasants and owned their own land free
from taxes. They were generally prosperous enough to ride horses, wear fine
clothes, own good houses, gold, and silver ornaments and thus maintain a
high standard of life.
The peasants constituted the majority of the rural population. They cultivated
their land with family labour and earned their livelihood. They had to pay
land tax, which was usually, one-third but sometimes reached one-half of the
produce. Land revenue was generally paid in cash. In addition, the peasant
had to pay other taxes e.g.
shari (house tax) and charai (grazing tax) under Rural Economy
certain rulers like Allauddin Khilji. Having been subjected to various taxes
they had a very hard life to live.
Landless labourers formed another significant portion of the rural population.
They worked on the land of wealthy landholders. They were in agricultural
bondage of the large landowners. Some were slaves of the plough and others
in domestic slavery of wealthy land-holders. They constituted a service class
of hereditary serfs (Moreland 1983: 112).
In general, it has been observed that the life of the peasants, landless labourers
and artisans was hard. Contemporary writings show that the masses sold their
children during droughts and famines simply for the sake of their survival.
Adhar a myth
The experience with identity cards in the United Kingdom tells us that Mr. Blair's marketing of the scheme was from a
platform of myths. First, he stated that enrolment for cards would be “voluntary”. Second, he argued that the card
would reduce leakages from the National Health System and other entitlement programmes; David Blunkett even
called it not an “identity card,” but an “entitlement card.” Third, Mr. Blair argued that the card would protect citizens
from “terrorism” and “identity fraud.” For this, the biometric technology was projected as infallible.
The Indian discourse around Aadhaar is remarkably similar. Almost identical arguments are forwarded in support of
the project to provide a population of over one billion people with UID numbers. I argue that Aadhaar, just as its failed
