Hari-śauri: Unless we get the farm, this farming scheme set up within the next . . .
Prabhupāda: We are getting so many.
Hari-śauri: We're getting the farms, but we haven't got the management, so . . .
Prabhupāda: Management, that is in your hands. You have to . . . Who will give you management? You have to manage local—local men. Bon Mahārāja was failure that he could not get the local men. But I did not try to bring men from India and preach in England or America.
Akṣayānanda: Hmm.
Prabhupāda: How it is possible? The British Empire was established on management. They did not bring men from England. Few managers, that's all. That is called management. One man can control hundreds and thousands of men, and that is management.
(long pause)
Prabhupāda: Locally attracted. These Britishers came here, they introduced this zamindarī system.
Haṁsadūta: The what?
Prabhupāda: Zamindarī system.
Haṁsadūta: Zamindar.
Prabhupāda: Landlord.
Haṁsadūta: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So any third-class man, if he's given some land, naturally he will be very much pleased. They created that aristocracy. So he selected some men that "You give me four annas per bīghā, and whatever you can collect, that is your." That is the old system in India, zamindarī system. So collector, collector, the local collector, he appointed somebody. They used to give one lease, that "You give government four annas per bīghā, and whatever you can collect, that is your business." So that created an aristocratic society, and they all supported Britishers, because they're obliged.
Haṁsadūta: Yes.
