Implementation of the Reforms:

Abolition of Intermediaries

♤ While the aim was to abolish intermediaries between the tiller and the state, in actual practice the legislative enactments equated intermediaries with the zamindars and as a result it left a class of rent receivers and absentee landlords under ryotwari untouched.

♤ Intermediaries were quite successful in getting huge compensation for abolition. It may be mentioned that Communist nations abolished it without any compensation.
