In above, notice the bottom left corner map of delhi, west-UP and Haryana prepared in 1869 by Sir JM Elliot.  It shows the Zamindari allocation of British by caste.  Lands allocated to the so called upper castes are negligible.  Majority Zamindari was allotted by British to the 'weakest sections' of our today's soceity: the "OBC"s, Muslims, Meos, Gujjars and Jats.

Contrasts what they show in movies, novels and writings of the pinkos?

Bodhi, could you please explain how you came to the caste conclusion from the map?

Thanks.
