From Filcher (1984):
In the feudal set up of the Princely States of India there were three
different kinds of vassal or dependent states with the relations to the proper
Princely States:
1. Tikhana (literally - household), a grant of land, the revenue of which
belonged to the grantee, but not the land itself.
2. Jagir (from Persian - holding land) - grant of land and villages.
3. Zamindar (land holder) responsible for collecting and paying to the superior
government the taxes on land under his jurisdiction.
Those subservient states were so numerous I don't think anybody ever counted
them all. Here, I will give examples of their flags (less known even than those
of the Princely States). Images, thanks to Henry Soszynski.
