The Deshmukh system was abolished after the [[independence of India]] in 1947, when the government confiscated most of the land of the Deshmukhs. Some families, however, maintain their status as real estate [[baron]]s, most notably in Mumbai, with holdover properties that were not taken away. | The Deshmukh system was abolished after the [[independence of India]] in 1947, when the government confiscated most of the land of the Deshmukhs.
