Q:

The Summary Settlement of 1856 was based on which one of the following assumptions?

A) The Talukdars were the rightful owners of the land	B) The Talukdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in the land.
C) The Talukdars could evict the peasants from the lands	D) The Talukdars would take a portion of the revenue which flowed to the State

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) The Talukdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in the land.

Explanation:

The British land revenue policy further undermined the position and authority of the taluqdars. After annexation, the first British revenue settlement, known as the Summary Settlement of 1856, was based on the assumption that the taluqdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in land: they had established their hold over land through force and fraud.
