Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Jotedars were also known as "Gantidars" in some regions of India. This term refers to the local intermediaries or middlemen who were responsible for the collection of land revenue from the peasants and passing it on to the zamindars (landlords or landowners). They played a significant role in the revenue collection system in some areas, particularly in Bengal and parts of eastern India.
The other terms mentioned in the options like "Haoladars" and "Bargadars" are also associated with different roles and functions in the agricultural and revenue systems of India, but they do not directly represent Jotedars.
So, the correct answer is option (3), where "Gantidars" is the term associated with Jotedars.
