Solution
The Zamindari and Ryotwari systems introduced fundamental changes in the traditional land systems of the country. The land became a commodity – a new form of property – which could be bought, sold, and mortgaged as and when the need arose. The stability and continuity of the Indian villages were shaken and the traditional structure of rural society began to disintegrate.
