| Patwari Sultanate and Mughal
village official who kept land revenue records. Alauddin Khalji institutionalised
the post and it was in vogue during the rule of sher
shah and akbar.
The office of patwari was abolished under the cornwallis
code. A patwari was quite an influential person in the village
society. Even now some families hold this title as a mark of social status.
