Answer 1

Answer:

The Samantas declared themselves to be Maha-Samantas when they gained power and wealth.

Explanation:

The Samanta system was a kind of government that was heavily reliant on landowners. While the Rajput Age saw the system's peak development, we first learn about it during the Gupta era.

Land ownership by individuals increased at the expense of royal and communal ownership. Through sub-infatuation, eviction, the imposition of uncustomary levies, and the use of forced labor, the peasantry was exposed to several disabilities.

Maha-Samantas, Mahamandaleshvaras, and similar terms were used to refer to important rankers. The man of the inferior position adopted titles such as Raja, Samanta, Thakura, Bhokta, etc. As Samanta grew in strength and fortune, they proclaimed themselves to be Maha-Samanta and Maha-mandaleshvara.

As a result, a significant class developed between the king and his subjects. As a result of having to rely more on samantas than the king, the general population's status suffered.
