Ushra and jangali are taxes that were commonly collected in the past in Hausa regions, especially during the Islamic empire and the era of traditional rulership. They were related to farming and herding, with Ushra affecting farmers and Jangali affecting herders.[1]
Ushra
[edit]Ushra is a tax collected from agricultural produce, especially in the Islamic system. Farmer[2]s are required to give (1%/10%) of their harvest as tax or charity. This system is closely related to Zakat in Islam. In some cases, ushra could also be an additional tax imposed by rulers on farmers. It helps in maintaining kingdoms, supporting religious institutions, and ensuring the welfare of the community.
Jangali
[edit]Jangali is a tax collected from herders based on the number of their livestock, especially cattle, goats, and sheep . The revenue from jangali is used to support the livelihood of herders.[3]
