 The situation experienced by the Gujarati Kolis, with their preferred landlord-based tenure system, was not so mutually beneficial.They were subject to interference from the British revenue collectors, who intervened to ensure that the stipulated revenue was remitted to the government before any surplus went to the landlord.Being less inclined to take an active role in agriculture personally and thus maximise revenues from their landholdings, the Koli possessions were often left uncultivated or underused.
