抄録

From the point of view of agricultural indebtedness and its effects on rural areas, we can classify most of the South Indian villages into three large groups. The first group consists of villages situated in productive irrigated territory. Such villages are the object of active investment by outside merchants and by both local and external rich ryots, who advance funds with the aim of acquiring the borrower's land. This gives rise to land-transfers which in turn produce highly developed landlordism, including absentee landlordism. Under the resulting landlord-tenant relationship, the produce of the land is taken as rent by the investor. The second group consists of unirrigated villages situated among the irrigated villages. In this area there is less investment directed towards land than the first, so that landlordism and absentee landlordism do not develop to any great extent. Advances made by traders with the purpose of securing agricultural produce are seldom found ; even when such advances are made, the ryots encounter no restrictions in the sale of their crops. The third group consists of villages in dry territory. In this case, town-based merchants make advances to the ryots in order to secure a constant supply of goods as well as to receive dealing charges. Absentee landlordism, however, does not develop because the merchants' funds are limited and the production in the area is unstable. Disposal of the crops is monopolized by the merchants, and a ryot who has received an advance from one merchant is prohibited from dealing with any other. In case that the ryot is unable to hand over the stipulated quantity of goods, moreover, he is forced to pay the merchant a specified fee.
