1.	Write a note on the local self-rule during the Chola rule ?
Answer» The most significant feature of Chola administration was local autonomy at the rural and urban levels. These were carried out by representative institutions-Ur, Sabha, Mahasabha and Nagaram. Their members had to have certain educational, economic, and moral qualifications. These elected members were called ‘Peru Makkal’. Member committels called ‘Vaarium’, looked after irrigation facilities, land dislribution, land taxation, realisation of taxes, maintenance of temples, justice, administrative functions etc. Ur was an assembly of ordinary tax paying adults men, while only Brahmin members were allowed in Sabha and Mahasabha. These institutions enjoyed internal autonomy and central interference was negligible. In fact villages were small republics. In this way Chola adminstration was a well organised and efficient one.
