Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Milkiyat lands were the zamindar's personal holdings, cultivated for private use and their produce sold freely in the market, so statement C is incorrect. Zamindars did maintain fortresses and armed contingents of cavalry, artillery and infantry, and bhakti saints, though critical of caste oppression, did not depict zamindars as oppressors. Hence A, B and D are correct.
