Over time, they took princely and royal titles such as Maharaja Great King , Raja King and many others. Often zamindars were Indian princes who lost their sovereignty due to British Rule. A jagir was technically a feudal life estate, as the grant lawfully reverted back to the monarch on death. However, in practice, many jagirs became hereditary by primogeniture. The recipient of the jagir termed a jagirdar was the de facto ruler of the territory and was able to earn income from taxes.
The jagirdar would typically reside at the capital to serve as a Minister, typically appearing twice a day before the monarch. This feudal system of land ownership is referred to as the jagirdar system. It was first established in the 13th century by the Sultans of Delhi, was later adopted by the Maratha Empire in the early 17th century, and continued under the British East India Company.
Following independence from the British Crown, the jagirdar system was abolished by the Indian government in Princely State: A Princely State also called Native State or Indian State was a nominally sovereign[1] entity of the British Indian Empire that was not directly governed by the British, but rather by an Indian ruler under a form of indirect rule, subject to a subsidiary alliance and the suzerainty or paramountcy of the British crown.

The power of the Zamindars has been greatly reduced by democracy and the subdivision of land among relatives. Land reforms enacted in stripped the Zamindars of some of their holdings but they remain powerful politically and economically.
In a law was passed outlawing the feudal tax collection system of zamindari in Uttar Pradesh. The Zamindars have also seen their power reduced by laws that limited the amount of land that people could own. Zamidar landowners have tried to get around these laws by placing land holdings in the names of other family members. The Jats are an upper farming caste that lives primarily in northern and northwestern India and southern and eastern Pakistan. Most are settled farmers or semi-nomadic herders who have been incorporated into the caste system where they reside.
There are maybe 20 million Jats. In some places they call themselves Baluchis, Pathans or Rajputs. The Jats have a reputation for being like Rajputs.
They have a military tradition and in some places are powerful landowners. They live in communities of the own kind but speak the languages and dialects of the people that live around them. There are Hindu, Muslim and Sikh Jats. A large portion of all Sikhs are Jats. The origin of the Jats is not clear. Some have suggested that they are descendants of Aryan invaders or Scythian tribes. Other have said thy might be related to White Huns.
Many of the same theories have been proposed for the Rajputs. In the 17th century Jats established a kingdom in Rajasthan that lasted until they were defeated by the British in In the Punjab, they were involved in organizing peasant uprisings against Muslim landlords. They also established bands of marauders than were known throughout northeast India.
The Jats have always been close to the land and have a reputation for being hardworking and clever. They grow grains, pulses, fruits and vegetables and raise camels, cattle and water buffalo. The animals are raised mainly for milk and sale. Over the years many of those who were animal herders have switched to farming because of a shortage of grazing land.
Customs of individual Jats are often determined more by where they live or what religion they belong to rather than anything inherent about being a Jay.
Many ceremonies, especially those associated with rites of passage, are celebrated by all Jats and many Jats do not believe in life after death. Hindu Jats have recognize certain gods. Muslim Jats have a tradition of venerating saints.
Sikh Jats have a reputation for being strong Sikh nationalist but not being observant of Sikh customs. Jat women are largely confined to the home. There has traditionally been a strong preference for boys and female infanticide used to be fairly common.
Jats reportedly got rid of unwanted baby girls by placing them in buffalo pens to be trampled to death. Female infanticide is reportedly not practiced anymore. On the local level Jats are organized by clan. On a larger level wealthy Jat landowners are involved in regional and even national politics. Often they act not only as spokesmen for Jats but for rural people as a whole.

In terms of sheer numbers, the caste composition of the village where the incident took place is an indication of the same. Out of the families living in the village, nearly half are Thakurs, another happen to be Brahmins, while Dalits comprise odd families.
In the caste-based structure of Indian society, Thakurs stand right below the Brahmins and belong to what is known as the warrior caste. Anthropologists say Thakurs and Rajputs are almost synonymous with each other. The community is also the predominant landowners in large parts of north India. Scholars agree that there is a close relationship between land ownership and socio-political mobility of a caste community.
Renowned sociologist M N Srinivas, well-known for his work on caste, has observed that three important requirements for the dominance of a particular caste in an Indian village — land ownership, a relatively high ritual position, and numerical strength. Phoolan stands vindicated. Hathras shows us that Phoolan did the correct thing at Behmai. That is the language that these criminal Thakur landlords understand.
