Jenmi is the term for Landlords of Nairs caste or others in India. It must be noted however that it included Rajahs (kings) and in some communities even Brahmins (especially Namboothiris from Kerala). In the past the majority, if not all the land was owned by these Jenmimar (landlords), and it was not unusual for an aristocratic family to own up to 500 acres of land. Today, however, there are restrictions placed on the amount of land one can own.
