Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

2  ]   The name Rajput is derived from Rajputra which means son of the ruler. The term was applied more generally to a group of warriors during the period between the eighth century and the fourteenth century. These groups of warriors claimed the Kshatriya status.

3  ]    During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

about 85 per cent of the population of India lived in

its villages. Both peasants and landed elites were

involved in agricultural production and claimed

rights to a share of the produce. This created

relationships of cooperation, competition and

conflict among them. The sum of these agrarian

relationships made up rural society.

At the same time agencies from outside also

entered into the rural world. Most important among

these was the Mughal state, which derived the

bulk of its income from agricultural production.

Agents of the state – revenue assessors, collectors,

record keepers – sought to control rural society so

as to ensure that cultivation took place and the

state got its regular share of taxes from the

produce. Since many crops were grown for sale,

trade, money and markets entered the villages and

linked the agricultural areas with the towns.
