Excerpt from Notes on the Land Tenures and Revenue Assessments of Upper India
Str. - Subproprietory sir is of two kinds. First, when old proprietors parted with their estates without a reservation as to land being assigned for their support, it was not unusual for the new proprietor to leave them in possession of the land tilled with their own ploughs. For a time they might escape rent, but subsequently a low rate was put upon their lands, and these may still be recognised by the two facts, that (a) possession of the particular fields has seldom if ever changed, or if there has been such change, that the original area is maintained and (b) the rates are still below the rents of other persons of the same class. Where the lands have been changed, either as to locality or area, and where there is no special favour in the rates of rent as compared with others of the same caste, the subproprietary status has merged into that of cultivator. Second, it was usual to assign to the junior branches of a proprietary family certain lands for their support, instead of giving them the ancestral shares to which they were ordinarily entitled. Such appanages were also known by the name of Sir.
