Z is for Zamindar

This article explores the scandalous and criminal history of Bengal's zamindars through notorious cases, such as a murder involving plague bacteria, a bizarre identity dispute, and sophisticated land-retention fraud. It also examines historical figures like Devi Choudhurani, who acted as a noble outlaw to aid famine victims.
