With the help of unpublished data from the 1850s onwards, Atchi Reddy shows how tenancy has helped in a slow but smooth transfer of land from absentee landlords to tenants and other cultivators, often giving them an upper hand.
Using more than 5000 written tenancy agreements from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, he constructs time-series data for annual, quinquennial and decennial rates of rent. These data are used to analyse trends in rental rates, the socio-economic status of landlords and tenants, the forms of agreements, and the policing arrangements. The increasing rates of rent are explained in terms of increasing man-land ratios, land productivity and prices, and decreasing rates of land revenue and active land markets.
