Guptas: Indian feudalism / Indian History / UPSC

The main exponent of the theory of feudalism in ancient India is Prof. R.S.Sharma, who uses the term feudalism to characterise the socio-economic formation in the post- Gupta period. Feudalism appears in a predominantly agrarian economy, which is characterised by a class of landlords and a class of servile peasantry. In this system, the landlords extract surplus through social, religious or political methods, which are called extra-economic. This seems to be more or less the current Marxist view of feudalism which considers serfdom, ‘scalar property’ and sovereignty as features of the West European version of feudalism.
