Single correct option

The Uttaramerur inscriptions, which describe the working of village assemblies and the election of committee members, belong to which dynasty?
  1. A. Pallavas
  2. B. Cholas
  3. C. Rashtrakutas
  4. 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.
