Explanation
The khuntkatti (or mundari khuntkatti) system was the joint land tenure of the Munda tribal community, in which land was held collectively by the khunt (lineage). It was prevalent in the Chota Nagpur region (present-day Jharkhand) during British rule, and the British recognised it under the Chotanagpur Tenures. It was not characteristic of the other listed regions. Hence Chota Nagpur.
