What is Khatiyan in Bihar?
खतियान
The survey record made at the cadastral settlement: the raiyat, the Khata and the Khesra numbers as they stood when the village was surveyed. It is what an inheritance claim or an old title is traced through — and it is frequently decades out of date on who is actually in possession.
