During the debate on the Bengal Tenancy Amend- ment Bill of 1928, the Honorable Member in charge of the Bill (Sir P. C. Mitter) said:-"Rightly or wrongly, from 1793 onwards the zamindars have been the proprietors of the soil." And again "Today what is the legal position. of the Zamindar and the Raiyat? In 1793 the Zamindar was made the proprietor of the soil." Anybody who reads the discussions on the Amendment Bill cannot but be sur- prised at the conflicting opinions expressed on this impor- tant and fundamental matter. It is desirable that the con- fusion of thought should be removed and we should have clear ideas about land rights in Bengal.
