It is the business of all, from the ryots to the dewan, to conceal and deceive. |
I allude here chiefly to the ryots of wealthy Zemindars and to other poor Hindu people in the service of their own countrymen. |
Like the ryots and the agricultural labourers, they do not show the least sign of revolt. |
The unscrupulous ryots have been filling up open pits with tank water through a drain. |
The Vice-Chancellor of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and the Director of Seed Certification also visited the farm and answered the queries of the ryots. |
The merchants and ryots are expected to pay them once a year, the former in money, and the latter in grain at harvest time. |
