Initially, they were subordinate to existing kings, providing military support and gifts. Over time, some of these samantas gained significant power and wealth, leading them to declare independence from their overlords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rashtrakutas<\/strong>: A notable example of this trend was the Rashtrakutas in the Deccan region. Starting as subordinates to the Chalukyas of Karnataka, they eventually overthrew their overlords. Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief, performed the hiranya-garbha ritual, symbolizing his rebirth as a Kshatriya and asserting his independence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Examples<\/strong>: Similarly, individuals from non-traditional backgrounds, such as the Kadamba Mayurasharman and the Gurjara-Pratihara Harichandra, used their military skills to establish new kingdoms in Karnataka and Rajasthan, respectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Administration_in_the_Kingdoms\"><\/span>Administration in the Kingdoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Titles and Power Sharing<\/strong>: New kings often adopted grand titles like maharaja-adhiraja or tribhuvana-chakravartin. Despite these claims, they typically shared power with their samantas, as well as with associations of peasants, traders, and Brahmanas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resource Collection<\/strong>: The state&#8217;s resources were primarily obtained from producers such as peasants, cattle-keepers, and artisans. Taxes were imposed in various forms, including rent and land revenue. The Cholas, for example, are known for having over 400 terms for different kinds of taxes in their inscriptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of Resources<\/strong>: The collected resources were used for various purposes, including the maintenance of the king&#8217;s establishment, construction of temples and forts, and conducting warfare. Warfare was particularly important as it was seen as a means to acquire wealth, land, and control over trade routes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prashastis_and_Land_Grants\"><\/span>Prashastis and Land Grants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prashastis<\/strong>: These are eulogies or praises written for kings, often containing exaggerated claims of their achievements. They were composed by learned Brahmanas and provide insights into how rulers wanted to portray themselves, such as valiant and victorious warriors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Land Grants<\/strong>: Kings often rewarded Brahmanas and other loyal followers with grants of land. These grants were recorded on copper plates and included various types of lands, such as brahmadeya (land gifted to Brahmanas) and shalabhoga (land for the maintenance of a school).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warfare_for_Wealth\"><\/span>Warfare for Wealth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regional Conflicts<\/strong>: Ruling dynasties often engaged in conflicts to control strategic regions. The city of Kanauj in the Ganga valley was a significant target for many rulers due to its strategic and economic importance. The long-drawn conflict for control over Kanauj among the Gurjara-Pratiharas, Rashtrakutas, and Palas is known as the &#8220;tripartite struggle.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temple Targeting<\/strong>: Temples were often targets in warfare due to their wealth. Notable incidents include the raids by Mahmud of Ghazni, who attacked wealthy temples such as the one at Somnath, Gujarat, to carry away their riches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cholas\"><\/span>The Cholas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rise to Power<\/strong>: The Cholas initially were a minor chiefly family under the Pallavas. Vijayalaya Chola captured the Kaveri delta from the Muttaraiyar and established the city of Thanjavur. Subsequent rulers like Rajaraja I and Rajendra I expanded the Chola territory and reorganized the administration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temples and Sculptures<\/strong>: The Cholas are renowned for their splendid temples, such as those at Thanjavur and Gangaikondacholapuram, which are architectural and sculptural marvels. They were also known for their exquisite bronze sculptures, often depicting deities and devotees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agriculture and Irrigation<\/strong>: The Cholas made significant advancements in agriculture, particularly in the Kaveri delta region. They employed various irrigation methods, including the construction of tanks and canals, to support agriculture, especially the cultivation of rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Administration<\/strong>: The Chola empire was organized into units called nadu, with village councils (ur) playing a key role in administration. The empire saw the involvement of rich peasants and landowners in administrative functions, often holding titles and positions of respect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><button><strong>NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Social Science History<\/strong><\/button><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Chapter 1 Tracing Changes Through A Thousand Years<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/ncert-solutions\/class-7\/social-science-history\/chapter-2-new-kings-and-kingdoms\/\">Chapter 2 New Kings And Kingdoms<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 3 The Delhi Sultans<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/ncert-solutions\/class-7\/social-science-history\/chapter-4-the-mughal-empire\/\">Chapter 4 The Mughal Empire<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 5 Rulers And Buildings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 6 Towns, Traders, And Craftsperson\u2019s<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 7 Tribes, Nomads, And Settled Communities<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/ncert-solutions\/class-7\/social-science-history\/chapter-8-devotional-paths-to-the-divine\/\">Chapter 8 Devotional Paths To The Divine<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 9 The Making Of Regional Cultures<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter 10 Eighteenth-Century Political Formations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why to Choose Infinity Learn Class 7  History Ch 2 Notes<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing the right study materials is crucial for a student&#8217;s academic success.
