Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Britishers made the landowners the permanent settlement by giving the land to Rajas, Zamindars, and Talukdars. They took care of field production and also made sure that they took work from farmers and peasants in an amount that they could pay the fixed rent to the Britishers and retain one part of the rent as their commission. According to them, rajas, Talukdars, and Zamindars were allowed if they wanted to fix the rent because Britishers only wanted a fixed amount of a particular land. The correct statement would be Rajas, Zamindars, and Talukdars were the landowners, not the Bengal governors.
