The main features of Amara-nayaka system which was introduced in the ‘Vijayanagar empire were
The Amara-kayaks were military commanders who were given territories to govern by the raya. They collected taxes and other dues from peasants. crafts persons and traders ¡n the area. They retained part of the revenue for personal use and for maintaining a stipulated contingent of horses and elephants.
These contingents provided the Vijayanagara kings with an effective fighting force with which they brought the entire southern peninsula under their control. Some of the revenue was also used for the maintenance of temples and irrigation works.
The Amara-nayakas sent tribute to the king annually and personally appeared in the royal court with gifts to express their loyalty. Kings occasionally asserted their control over them by transferring them from one place to another to prove their control over the Amara-nayakas.

But the Collector soon discovered a strange twist to the tale A British collector had soon discovered that many ot the purchasers were servants and agents of Raja who had bought the land on behalf of their master.

Or
“A cherry that will drop into our mouth one day”, who made this remark? Explain the senes of events that eventually led the cherry to fall into the mouth of the British. (3)
Answer:
The relationship of the sepoys with their superior white officers underwent a significant change in the years preceding the uprising of 1857. In the 1820s, white officers made it a point to maintain friendly relations with the sepoys. They would take part in their leisure activities i.e. they wrestled with them, fenced with them, and went out hawking with them. Many of them were fluent in Hindustani and were familiar with the customs and culture of the country. These officers were disciplinarian and father figure rolled into one.
In the 1840s, this began to change. The officers developed a sense of superiority and started treating the sepoys as their racial interiors, riding roughshod over their sensibilities. Abuse and physical violence became common and thus the distance between sepoys and officers grew.
Trust was replaced by suspicion The tears of the sepoys about the new cartridge, their grievances about leave, their grouse about the increasing misbehavior and racial abuse on the part of their white officers were communicated back to the villages.
Or
In 1851, Governor General Lord Daihousie described the kingdom of Awadh as a cherry that will drop into our mouth one day”.

Question 28.
The Mahabharata is an invaluable source available to historians to study social practices and norms in early societies. Justify the statement (8)
Or
Mahabharata is considered as one of the richest texts of the subcontinent. In this context, what elements do historians consider when they analyse texts? Explain this with reference to the text of Mahabharata. (8)
Answer:
The Mahabharata is an invaluable source available to historians to study social practices and norms in early societies in the following ways
Mahabharat is a dynamic epic which contains vivid descriptions of battles, forests, palaces, and settlements.
- Its growth was not hindered by its language.
- Over the centuries, it has been written in many languages of the world.
- It depicts an ongoing dialogue between the people and communities on the one hand and the authors on the other hand.
- It incorporated many stories that originated in different regions.
- Main story of the epic was often retold in different ways.
- Many episodes of this text had been depicted in sculptures and paintings.
- They also provide a wide range of themes and performing arts like plays, dances and narratives.
Or
Historians used the following elements when they analyse texts
Historians often use textual traditions or content of text to understand the processes. Some texts lay down norms of social behavior; others describe and occasionally comment on a wide range of social situations and practices.
They can also catch a glimpse of some social actors from the inscriptions As each text and inscription was written from the perspective of specific social categories, they need to keep in mind who composed what and for whom, and when (the authors, the time and period).
They also need to consider the language used, and the ways in which the text circulated. There were several common elements in the Sanskrit versions of the Mahabharata story which is evident in manuscripts found all over the subcontinent, There were also enormous regional variations in the ways in which the text had been transmitted over the centuries.
These variations were documented in footnotes and appendices to the main text. The understanding of these processes is derived primarily from texts written in Sanskrit.
When issues of social history were explored for the first time by historians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, they tended to take these texts at face value, believing that everything that was laid down in these texts was practiced. Subsequently,
scholars began to study other traditions, from works in Pali, Prakrit, and Tamil. These studies indicated that the ideas contained in normative Sanskrit texts were overall recognised as authoritative and important.
Question 29.
Examine the evidence that suggests land revenue was important for the Mughal Fiscal system. (8)
Or
Explain the condition of zamindars in Mughal agrarian society. (8)
Answer:
The evidences that suggests land revenue was important for the Mughal Fiscal system were
Revenue was vital for the state to create an administrative apparatus to ensure control over agricultural production, and to fix and collect revenue from across the length and breadth of the rapidly expanding empire. This apparatus included the office (daftar) of the diwan who was responsible for supervising the fiscal system of the empire.
The Mughal state tried to first acquire specific information about the extent of the agricultural lands in the empire and what these lands produced, before fixing the burden of taxes on people.
- The land revenue arrangements consisted of two stages first assessment and then actual collection.
- The Jama was the amount assessed, as opposed to Hasil, the amount collected.
- The revenue collector was directed to give choice to cultivators to pay in cash or kind, While fixing revenue, the attempt of the state was to maximise its claims.
- Both cultivated and cultivable lands were measured in each province. The Am compiled the aggregates of such lands during Akbar’s rule.
- Aurangzeb instructed his revenue officials to prepare annual records of the number of cuftivators in each village. Yet not all areas were measured successfully.
Or
The condition of Zamindars in Mughal agrarian society was
- The zamindars who were landed proprietors enjoyed certain social and economic privileges by virtue of their superior status in rural society.
- Caste was one factor that accounted for the elevated status of zamindars. Another factor was that they performed certain services (khidmat) for the state.
- The zamindars held extensive personal lands termed milkiyat. meaning property. Milkiyat lands were cultivated for the private use of zamindars, often with the help of hired or servile labour.
- The zamindars could sell, bequeath, or mortgage these lands at will. Zamiridars also derived their power from the fact that they could often collect revenue on behalf of the state, a service for which they were compensated financially.
- Control over military resources was another source of power. Most zamindars had fortresses (qilachas) as well as an armed contingent comprising units of cavalry, anillery, and infantry.
- Contemporary documents give the impression that conquest may have been the source of the origin of some zamindaris,
- The dispossession of weaker people by a powerful military chieftain was quite often a way of expanding a zamindari.
- The slow processes of zarnindari consolidation are also documented in sources. This involved colonisation of new lands, by transfer of rights, by order of the state and by purchase. These were the processes which perhaps permitted people belonging to the relatively lower castes to enter the rank of zamindars as zamindans were bought and sold quite briskly in this period.
Question 30.
‘The Quit India Movement genuinely was a mass movement’. Justify the statement. (8)
Or
Examine the different kinds of sources from which the political career of Gandhiji and the history of the National movement could be reconstructed. (8)
Answer:
After the failure of the Cnpps Mission, Mahatma Gandhi decided to launch his third major movement the Quit India campaign which began in August 1942. The Quit India Movement against the British rule was a Mass Movement, bringing into its ambit hundreds or thousands of ordinary Indians. For example, It especially energized the young who in very large numbers left their colleges to join the Congress leaders languishing in jails.
Gandhiji was jailed at once while organising the movement, but the young activists organised strikes and acts of sabotage all over the country. There were socialist members of the Congress such as Jaya Prakash Narayan who were active in the underground resistance. Social activists organised strikes and protests. Independent governments were proclaimed in several districts such as Satara in the West and Medinipur in the East.
Attacks were organised on government buildings or any other visible symbol of colonial authority. Women across the country participated in the Quit India Movement. Great sense of unity and brother hood emerged due to Quit India Movement.
Or
Private letters and autobiographies furnish us with significant information about an individual. With these help we can make almost an accurate estimate of the concerned individual’s ideology and career. For instance, Gandhi ji’s letters and his autobiography help us significantly in understanding Gandhiji and his ideology.
Different kinds of sources from which the political career of Gandhiji are as follows
Autobiographies They give us an account of the past i.e. rich in human detail. Autobiographies are retrospective accounts written very often from memory. They tell us what the author would be able to recollect, what he or she saw as important or was recounting or how a person wanted his o her life to be viewed by others.
Private Letters They give us a glimpse of the private thoughts ol an individual. In letters we see people expressing their anger and pain, their dismay and anxiety, their hopes and frustrations, in a way in which they may not express themselves in public
statements. Gandhiji regularly published in his journal Harijan, letters written to him during the national movements. Nehru edited a collection of letters called Bunch of Old Letters.
Government Records The letters and reports written by policemen and other officials were secret at that time, but now they can be accessed in archives, One such sources is the fortnightly report prepared by the Home Department from early 20th century. These reports were based on information given to the police by the localities but often expressed what the officials saw or wanted to believe, e.g. in fortnightly reports for the period of the salt march, it is noticed that the home department was unwilling to accept that Mahatma Gandhiji’s actions had evolved any enthusiastic response from the masses.
Newspaper Records Both Indian and foreign newspapers played an important role while covering the news of Indian National Movement and the political career of Gandhiji. Every detail given in the state reports cannot be accepted as factual statements of the events that had been happening. Often these details acquaint us with the anxieties and wocries of the officials who had been finding themselves incapacitated in controlling the movement and who were much too worried about its getting momentum.

When you die, O king and leave all things behind, dhamma alone, and nothing else, will save you. As a bird dislikes the cage, so do I dislike (the world).
