Explantion:
In the sixteenth-seventeenth century, Raiyat was an Indo-Persian term for peasants.
Jins-i kamil (literally, perfect crops), Crops such as cotton and sugarcane were called Jins-i kamil.
In Muslim communities, men like the halalkhoran (scavengers) were housed outside the village's boundaries; similarly, the mallahzadas (literally, sons of boatmen) in Bihar were comparable to slaves.
