    Which of the following statements about the Cholas are correct?

    1. They had a system of local self-government.
    2. They were followers of Buddha.
    3. They maintained a strong navy.
    4. They built great temples.
    Solution
    The Chola dynasty was one of the longest-ruling dynasties in history. The earliest datable references to this Tamil dynasty are in inscriptions from the 3rd century BCE left by Ashoka, of the Maurya Empire. The Chola Empire left a rich legacy in the Tamil country. The Cholas built a strong naval fleet to expand their empire and establish trade relations with other neighbouring countries. Under Rajaraja Chola I and his son Rajendra Chola I, the dynasty became a military, economic and cultural power in Asia. During the period 1010–1200, the Chola territories stretched from the islands of the Maldives in the south to as far north as the banks of the Godavari River in Andhra Pradesh.

    The Chola Empire was divided into three major administrative units called central government, provincial government and local government. The administration was headed by the king. The Chola kingship was hereditary in nature.

    Various temples were built under the Chola dynasty. Thanjavur Temple, the Temple of Gangaikondacholisvaram, the Airavatesvara temple at Darasuram, etc. are some magnificent architectural examples of this dynasty. The above mentioned temples were built during the reign of the Chola emperor Rajaraja and designed by the famous architect Sama Varma between 1003 and 1010 AD. These temples belonged to Hinduism. So, it is clear that the Chola dynasty was the follower of Hinduism rather than Buddhism.

    Hence, statement 2 given in the question is false and the rest statements are correct.

The Battle of Talikota (January 23, 1565) was a watershed battle fought between the Vijayanagara Empire and the Deccan sultanates.

The navy grew both in size and status during the medieval Cholas reign. The Chola admirals commanded much respect and prestige. From 900 to 1100, the navy had grown from a small backwater entity to a potent power projection and diplomatic symbol in all of Asia, but was gradually reduced in significance when the Cholas fought land battles subjugating the Chalukyas of the Andhra-Kannada area in South India.

    Solution
    The Mansabdari system introduced by Akbar was borrowed from Mongolia. It was a system whereby nobles were granted the rights to hold a jagir, or revenue assignments (not land itself) for services rendered by them, with the direct control of these nobles in the hands of the king. Abu'l Fadl mentioned 66 grades of mansabdars, but in practice, there were not more than 33 mansabs. During the early reign of Akbar, the lowest grade was ten and the highest was 12,000. Higher mansabs were given to princes and Rajput rulers who accepted the suzerainty of the emperor.
  • Question 18
    1 / -0
    Who among the following was the first Mughal emperor to allow the British to establish trade links with India?
    Solution
    Jahangir was the first Mughal emperor to allow the British to establish trade links with India.
    In 1608 AD, the East India Company sent Captain William Hawkins to the court of Mughal emperor Jahangir, to secure royal patronage. He succeeded in getting royal permit for the company to establish its factories at various places on the western coast of India.
    In 1615 AD, Sir Thomas Roe was sent by Emperor James I of England to Jahangir's court, with a plea for more concessions to the company. Roe was very diplomatic and, thus, successfully secured a royal charter giving the company freedom to trade in the entire Mughal territory.
  • Question 19
    1 / -0
    Which of the following emperors is wrongly matched with his contemporary Mughal king?
    Solution
    The incorrectly matched pair is 'Prithvi Raj Chauhan – Akbar' because Prithviraj Chauhan was born on 1166 AD and died in 1192 AD, whereas the Mughal Empire in India started in the 16th century when Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in the battle of Panipat in 1526 AD. After the death of Babur, his son Humayun became the Mughal emperor and after his death, Akbar, the son of Humayun, became the king of the Mughal Empire who reigned from 1556 to 1605.
    Prithvi Raj Chauhan and Akbar were the kings of two different periods.
