Charles Cornwallis was the commander of British forces during the American War Of Independence and the Governor General of Bengal when the Permanent Settlement was introduced in 1793.

Rich peasants in Bengal were referred to as Jotedars. They controlled local trade as well as moneylending, exercising immense power over the poorer cultivators of the region. Unlike zamindars who often lived in urban areas, jotedars were located in the villages and exercised direct control over a considerable section of poor villagers. They fiercely resisted efforts by zamindars to increase the jama of the village, prevented zamindari officials from executing their duties, mobilized ryots who were dependent on them, and deliberately delayed payments of revenue to the zamindar.

When the Permanent Settlement was imposed, Tejchand was the Raja of Burdwan. Subsequently under Mehtab Chand the estate prospered. Mehtab Chand helped the British during the Santhal rebellion and the 1857 revolt.

Francis Buchanan was a physician who came to India and served in the Bengal Medical Service. For a few years, he was a surgeon to the Governor-General of India, Lord Wellesley.
