In 1797 there was an auction in Burdwan. It was a big public event. A number of mahals held by the Raja of the Burdwan were being sold.
Numerous purchasers came to the auction and the estates were sold to the highest bidder. But the Collector soon discovered a strange twist to the tale. Many of the purchasers turned out to be the servants and agents of the raja who had bought the lands on behalf of their master. Over 95 percent of the sale at the auction was fictitious. The Rajas' estates had been publicly sold, but he controlled his zamindari. |
