Zaildar
Zaildar was a feudal title, and an officer in charge of a Zail in the colonial rural administration of Punjab in British India. Each Zail was an administrative unit, extending between two and forty villages.
Zaildars were equivalent to the Chaudharis (feudal zamindars) of earlier times and were hand-picked by the deputy-commissioner, who based his decision on issues such as caste or tribe, local influence, extent of landholding, services rendered to the state by him or his family, and personal character and ability.
Zaildars were essentially revenue collectors and village-level representatives of the British Empire who enjoyed remuneration for their duties, life grants equal to one per cent of the revenue of their zails from the assessment of any single village that they chose.
In addition to these life inams, or grants, there were some Safedposhi grants of a semi-hereditary nature enjoyed by some of the leading agricultural families. They were semi-hereditary because one of the conditions of the grant was that on the death of an incumbent, his successor should, if possible, be a member of the same family. If, however, there was no fit member of the same family, the grant could be awarded to some deserving Lambardar of the same tribe, who was not already in the enjoyment of such a grant.

by: CelladorWe're all off to meet our maker
And I know we won't go far
If there's a chance at life, it's not in sight
When you watch the world go dark
When you take a chance and you throw it up
If you watch to see where it falls
Even in the end it'll always end up small
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
Head up high into the sky
Just take a chance and try to fly
Leave it all and we will never fall
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Look real hard into yourself and see if you can find
That burning light thats shining bright inside us all tonight
A wasted day to a wasted month to a wasted life you'll find
That without a dream you might as well be blind
Don't be left unsatisfied
Someday each of us will die
No turning back to see what's dead and gone
A challenge beard is a challenge shared
Just face your fear now, don't be scared
Hold your ground, no fate can hold us down
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
So ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Each and all of us have time in their life
A self-realization that with all regret turns to light
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
No blessed truth can give you say
You alone decide the way
Hear the path from inside of your heart
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
