Who among the following were identified as 'Jotedars'?

Rich Peasants

The correct answer is Option (3) → Rich Peasants

'Jotedars' refers to the rich peasants or landowners who held substantial agricultural land in rural areas. These individuals were typically wealthier than the average peasant or farmer and were considered part of the rural elite. The term is often associated with regions where agrarian economies prevailed, and these rich peasants played a significant role in local agricultural and social structures. 'Zamindars' typically refers to landlords or landowners who might have broader landholdings, including both agricultural and non-agricultural land. 'Jotedars,' on the other hand, specifically highlights the wealthier peasants in the rural context.

So, the correct option is [3].
