In Indian culture, jaghirdars were an integral part of the feudal system. They were responsible for the collection of revenue from the peasants under their jurisdiction.

In return for their services, jaghirdars were granted vast tracts of land and other privileges by the ruling monarch or the governor of the province. Jaghirdars played a crucial role in the administration and economic development of medieval India. Their legacy continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for the Indian people.
