196 THE AGRARIAN SYSTEM OF MOSLEM INDIA to which he refers in general terms; I have not seen these, and I cannot trace any later reference to show whether or not any of them still exist. It is certain, however, that Grant's starting-point was wrong. His statement that Todar Mal made a detailed assessment of the province is his- torically impossible, as Shore pointed out, and it is directly at variance with the official record in the Ain, that Akbar maintained the method of assessment (nasaq) which he found in force; whether the word nasag denotes Group-assessment, or Farming, or both, it excludes the possibility of such a detailed assessment as Grant asserted. His statement that the basis of the assessment was one-fourth of the produce must also be incorrect, for in Todar Mal’s time the State’s claim was uniformly one-third; the figure of one- fourth was obviously derived from Grant's early studies of the Deccan assessment, which he was led to believe was a servile copy of Todar Mal’s work. Grant’s account, there- fore, cannot be accepted in its entirety, and the initial misapprehension affects the whole of his argument. In my opinion, the most probable reading of Grant's earlier figures is that the documents which he used referred to Valuation, not Demand. I have given in Appendix G my reasons for holding that the statistics in the Ain, for Bengal as for the other provinces, probably represent the Valuation in force at the time when the record was compiled. The Bengal figures, which Grant took as showing Todar Mal’s assessment of Demand, would on this view be in fact the first and summary Valuation of a newly acquired province made by Todar Mal, or under his orders, on the basis of whatever data were available at the time of an- nexation, probably the records maintained by the former Government. This view clears up the obvious difficulty that Todar Mal could not possibly have assessed in detail the Demand on those portions of eastern Bengal, which had not fallen into Akbar’s hands; it is easy to understand that, finding Chittagong, for instance, shown in the old records as still part of the kingdom of Bengal, he should have in- cluded it in the Valuation, pending the time when its pos- session should be obtained; while it is quite certain that, in this region. at least. he could not have carried out the
