Hi,
In the post independence period the agrarian classes can be described as follows - landlords and tenants : kulaks/rich peasants/middle peasants and Agricultural labourers, marginal and small farmers and footloose labour.
Landlords and tenants generally had existed before the implementation of land reforms in different states of India.
However they have not completely disappeared in every state.
In several parts of country , New classes emerged abolition of zamindari following implementation of land reforms , these classes came to be known as rich farmers , kulaks , or self cultivating middle farmers .
In the areas which have witnessed green revolution these classes got involved in cash crops . These areas also seen emergence of Agricultural labourers who work on the land of land owning classes. These land landholdings are not enough to meet their family needs.
Apart from working on their land they work on someone else's land. They are known as marginal or small farmers.
Apart from them there are  other social groups which are not involved in anything fixed. They do whatever is available to them .
Hope it helps.....
