6. what happened to the Samantha's during the Delhi sultanate?
Answers
Answer:
Samanta was a title and position used by the army people of Kings. The institution of Samanta finds mention for the first time in epigraphs of northern India dating to the 6th century.[1] The institution is considered to and is closely associated with the origin and growth of feudalism in India. However, the institution is known to have existed prior to the Gupta period, though details on them are vague. A Pallava inscription dating to the time
of Santivarman (AD 455 470) uses the term Samanta-Chudamanayah (best feudatories).[2] The Samanta in South- India was used to mean a vassal to an emperor. In North-India, the earliest use of the term in a similar sense was in Bengal in the Barabar Hill Cave Inscription of the Maukhari Chief, Anantavarman (dating 6th century AD) in which his father is described as the Samanta-Chudamanih (best among feudatories) of the imperial Guptas.[3][4] The Samanta vassal provided military support to the Monarch and governed over a portion of a territory.
