Zusammenfassung:Genesis and consolidation of a class of rich peasants in the Bengal districts that now constitute Bangladesh. The author argues that at least in some areas a powerful class of well-to-do peasants existed even before the British introduced the Permanent Settlement. Period of class struggle ushered in by this settlement between "Zamindars" (big landlords) and rich peasants. Effective economic and political power wrested from the zamindars by the rich peasants.
