[1][2] The Zamindari Association was formed in March 1837 as a political organization for zamindars.
[1][3] The founders of the association were prominent zamindars of Bengal; such as Bhabani Charan Bandyopadhyay, Dwarkanath Tagore, Prasanna Kumar Tagore, Radhakanta Deb, and Ramkamal Sen.[1] The association campaigned for Permanent Settlement to be implemented all over India.
[1] It also maintained close ties with the British India Society in London.
[1] It was able to secure concession from the British that allowed tax exemption status to temples and lands for Brahmans.
[1] The society did not expand outside of Bengal due to the lack of implementation of the Permanent Settlement outside of India.
