Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Zemindary Settlement of Bengal, Vol. 1 of 2 The effects of the zemindary settlement of Bengal will last as long as British rule in India; but already, well conceived ideas of the authors of that settlement seem to be nigh forgotten. They designed a permanent settlement for the ryot, of the same character, and under the same gua rantee of its inviolability, as the permanent settlement for the zemindar, and they thought that they had effectually provided for such a settlement, at the rates of 1792, by the Regulations of 1793. Yet we find that in 1879 the Bengal Government has appointed a Committee to consolidate the substantive rent law, and to suggest amendments, as if a permanency of assessment had not been assured to the ryots in 17 93 by the authors of the permanent settlement, and as if the rents paid by ryots in the present day were not already so much greater, in dubitably, than the pergunnah rates, plus abwabs of 1792, as (at least) to assure to the ryots immunity from further enhancement of rent.
