Kharif — meaning
A term used in Indian land records and land transactions, explained in English and Hindi, with the lessons and judgments where it matters.
खरीफ़
Definition
The monsoon cropping season, sown with the rains and harvested afterwards. It is one of the two seasons for which the Patwari records girdawari, the other being rabi, so a parcel generates two crop entries a year. Reading several seasons of kharif and rabi entries together gives a free agronomic history of a parcel — what the land and its water actually support, and when that changed.
The monsoon cropping season.
