Thanks. My interpretation too was of the mark. I have come across people from Vidarbha (formerly in Madhya Bharat), who were called malgujaars, in the same vein as a zamindaar would be referred to. But I have never come across someone referred to as a mahalwar. So my interpretation was that maalgujaari is a traditional zamindari (in some form) and mahalwari was the system the East India Company employed in the provinces it won over, including areas of Madhya Bharat. Any idea what system was in use under the Kolhapur state and under the Nizam? Thanks for sharing the findings of your studies, Sharadjee. Regards Milind Khadilkar
