Thanks. But do you think that only the mundkars benefited from all this and not the bhatkar in any way ? Don't you think this bhatkar / mundkar relationship is like a process called symbiosis ?

I was there. "Social concience" 1) A bhatkar, in Loutolim, stopped his mundkars from planting in morods - land was lying fallow for years until sold in last decade for residential use. Fortunately for all concerned, he did not evict the mundkars?from their homes 2) Some bhatkars allowed their mundkars to continue planting, with the current issue that the second/third generation?is not bothered about tilling, resulting in land lying fallow. ?Meanwhile, bhatkar pays foro. If the fact that people were allowed to continue to stay/live off the land for zilch payment to landlord shows something.
