Tribhagam

Language - Sanskrit

Telugu Word - తిరిపాకమ్

A type of Inam (land grant) where the holder is entitled to one-third of the government's revenue collected from the land. Example: Historical land records might mention 'Tribhagam' lands, indicating a specific revenue-sharing arrangement between the government and the landholder. Tribhagam Inams were a common form of land grant in Telangana, particularly during the medieval and colonial periods. This system allowed the government to retain a significant portion of the revenue while incentivizing landholders to cultivate and improve the land. Understanding 'Tribhagam' grants can shed light on historical revenue collection practices and land tenure systems in the region.
