What type of labor systems were used during the imperialism of India?

During the Imperialism of India, the British employed various labor systems, including indentured servitude, where workers were contracted to work for a specific period in plantations and railways. Additionally, zamindari systems placed land revenue collection in the hands of local landlords, often exploiting peasant labor. The British also utilized a system of forced labor, particularly in infrastructure projects, where local populations were compelled to work under harsh conditions. These labor systems were characterized by exploitation and a lack of rights for the laborers.
