Q9 of 12 Page 191

Why do you think the spirit of Bhoodan did not help to end landlordism and get land to the tiller?

Because the landlords did not want to lose their land at any cost and did not have empathy and willingness to lose their land. Some landlords like Vedire Ramachandra Reddy donated land to the tillers but that was not enough to balance the land concentration among big landlords and landless people. Therefore, Bhoodan movement started by Vinobaji did not help to end landlordism.
