Tlrc Ain-i-Akbni on lnnd reoenue collection:

Let him (the Amil-guzar) not make it a practice of taking only in cash
but also in kind. The latter is bffected several ways. First, Kankut in
Hindi language 'kan' signifies grain, and 'kut' estimates.... If any
doubts arise, the crops should be cut and estimated in three lots, the
good, the middling, and the inferior, and the hesitation removed.
Often too, the land taken by appraisement, gives a sufficiently
accurate return. Secondly, batai, also called bhaoli, the crops are
reaped and stacked and divided by agreement in the presence of the
pafties. But in this case several intelligent inspertors are required;
otherwise, the evil minded and false are given to deception. Thirdly,
khetbatai, when they divide the fields after they are sown. Fourthly,
lang batai, after cutting the grains, they form it in heaps and divide
it among themselves, and each takes his share home and turns it to
' profit.

Gifting 'of precious manuscripts was an gstablished diplomatic-

Awadh gifted the illustrated Badshah Nama to King_Ge-orge III in
1799. Siice then it has been preserved in the English Royai

 (e) "Tlp renl nrinorities nre tle nmsses of tltis country." :

Welcoming the Objective Resolution introduced, by Jawaharlal

Nehru, N. G. Ranga said : , l,

Sir, there is a lot of talk about minorities. . ffio are the real
minorities Not the Hindus in the so-called P4\i9tan provinces, not
?
the Sikhs, not even the Muslims. No, the real,
.minorities are the
masses of this country. These.people are so depressed and oppressed
and suppressed till now that they are not able to take arlvantage of
the ordinary civil rights. What is the position ? You go to the tribat
areas. According to law, their own traditional law, their tribal law,
their lands can not be alienated. Yet our merchants go there, and in
the so-called free market they are abie to snatch their lands. Thus,
even though the law goes against this snatching away of their lands,
stiil the merchants are able to turn the tribal people into veritable
slaves by various kinds of bonds, and make them hereditary
bondslaves. Let us go to the ordinary villagers. There goes the
money-Iender with his money and he is able to get the villagers in his
pocket. There is a landlord himself, the zamindar, and the
^rigrrut
and there are various other people who are able to exploit these
poor villagers. There is no elementary education even among these
people. These are the real minorities that need protection and
assurance of protection. In order to give them the necessary
protection/ we will need much more than this Rgsolution.

Questions :

(il Who are, according to N. G. Ranga, the real minorities ? 1

(it Why are they the real minorities ? 3

(iii) \Nhy do they need protection ? 2

(f) From the mid eigl'rteenth century, there was a new phase of change.
Commercial centers such as Surat, Masulipatanam and Dhaka, which
had grown in the seventeenth century, declined when trade shifted
to other places. As the British gradually acquired poliiical control
after the Battle of Plassey in 1757, and the h.ade of the English East
India Company expanded, colonial port cities such as Madras,
Calcutta and Bombay rapidly emerged as the new'economic capitals.
They also became centers of colonial administration and military
power. New buildings and institutions developed, and urban spaces
were ordered in new ways. New occupations developed and people
flocked to these colonial cities. By about 1800, they were the biggest
cities in terms of population.
Questions :

(i) Why did the commercial centers decline wi-rich grew in the 17th
century ? 1,

(it What were the causes of the emergence of the new economic
capitals ? 2
(iii) What were the characters of the newly emerged cities ? g
