Question

Flow chart on comparing the administrative systems of the new kings and kingdoms and the present indian system

Answer 1

Answer:

Kings shared their administrative power with samantas, Brahmans, traders, and associations of peasants.

Peasants, cattle-keepers, artisans, and all those who produced something, had to pay taxes or rents, and traders had to pay revenue.

Under the Chola dynasty, there were around 400 different types of taxes, from which vetti (forced labour), and kadamai (land revenue) were the most common.

The reasons of collecting taxes were; to fulfil the finance of the king's establishments, to build temples and forts, and to fight wars.

The high positions at kingdoms including the army, were appointed either by hereditary or through influential families.
