Question 6

Tipu Sultan's administrative policies in Malabar, particularly his land reforms, had significant long-term consequences. Which of the following best describes how these policies, despite his anti-British objectives, inadvertently facilitated the later consolidation of British power in the region?

Accepted Answer

B. By undermining the traditional Jenmi-Kanam land tenure system and directly administering land, he weakened the local feudal aristocracy, creating a power vacuum that the British later filled by aligning with the dispossessed Jenmis. — Tipu Sultan's land reforms in Malabar aimed to abolish the Jenmi (landlord) system and convert tenants into direct cultivators under the state, thereby increasing state revenue and centralizing power. While intended to strengthen his rule, this policy severely disrupted the existing social and economic order, alienating the powerful Jenmi class.

A. His centralized judicial system, replacing local customary laws, caused widespread resentment, which the British exploited by promising a return to traditional legal frameworks.
