Indian Economy 1950-1990

Question

What are the hurdles in the way of land to the tillers?

Answer

The goal of equity was not fully served by abolition of intermediaries. In some parts of the country, \Zamindars continued to own large amounts of land using some defects in the legislation. The tenants were evicted because the land owners claimed to be self-cultivators claiming ownership of the land. The big landlords challenged the legislation in the courts, delaying its implementation. They used this delay to register their lands in the name of close relatives.
