Analyze the agrarian classifications under Mughal rule: 1. 'Polaj' land was cultivated continuously every year without leaving any fallow period. 2. 'Banjar' land was considered fertile and left fallow for only one year to regain fertility. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Under the agrarian revenue classifications established during Mughal administration, Polaj land was designated as fertile soil cultivated continuously every year without requiring any fallow recovery period. Statement two is incorrect because land left uncultivated for a year or two to regain lost nutrients was categorized as Parauti, whereas Banjar referred to wasteland left uncultivated for five consecutive years or more.
