The Indian Feudal System was a social and economic structure that emerged during the medieval period in India. It was characterized by a hierarchy where land was owned by a few powerful individuals, known as landlords or zamindars, who granted portions of their land to peasants in exchange for a share of the produce. This system created a bond of loyalty and service between the landlords and the peasants, often leading to exploitation. Under this system, the king or ruler held ultimate authority over the land and its resources. The feudal lords managed their territories and collected taxes, which were then passed up to the king. This hierarchical structure influenced the political and social dynamics of Indian society, shaping relationships between different classes and contributing to regional disparities.
