What do you know about land …

Land reforms in India during planning period were as:

1. Abolition of the colonial system of zamindari. this bold act not only released land from the clutches of a class that had little interest in agriculture, but it also reduced the capacity of the landlords to dominate politics. 
2. Lands were consolidated to bring small pieces of land together in one place so that the farm size could become viable for agriculture.

Drawbacks:

1. The laws were made to put an upper limit or ‘ceiling’, to how much agricultural land one person could own, people with excess land managed to evade the law.
2. The tenants, who worked on someone else’s land were given greater legal security which rarely implemented.
3. Landowners were very powerful and wielded considerable political influence.
