Single correct option
The Uttaramerur inscriptions, which describe the working of village assemblies and the election of committee members, belong to which dynasty?
- A. Pallavas
- B. Cholas
- C. Rashtrakutas
- D. Chalukyas of Badami
Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) Cholas
Inscriptions of the Chola king Parantaka I at Uttaramerur (Tamil Nadu) describe the qualifications of candidates and the drawing of lots (kudavolai) for village committees. Although the village itself was earlier a Pallava settlement, the famous election rules are Chola. Rashtrakutas and Chalukyas are not associated with this inscription.
