Abstract
The society of the 19th century erstwhile Bikaner princely
state had a marked pattern of the exploitation of the peasants that resulted in
numerous peasant led movements. In order to understand the true character of
the feudal set up of the erstwhile times the whole set up of the economic
system based on land must be gauged. The inner functioning of the land based
feudal order can be understood first by enumerating the types of lands and
their organic relationships with the peasants, the feudal lords and the
maharaja. The specific geographical features of the state like desert, arid
environment and consequent dearth of water for agriculture provides a different
perspective to the peasantry life of the area. In the article an attempt shall
be made to delineate the fine characteristics of the land based feudal systems by
briefly defining the types of the lands prevalent then.
