Question 1.
Compare the warriors of those times with what you know about the armies of modern times. What differences do you see between them?
Answer:
In ancient times, the sarriors sought to establish small kingdoms and these ambitious warriors fought against each other constantly. Many of the leaders of these communities were also great warriors who led their mobile people not only in grazing hut also in battles, Butin modern times these armies are meant to give protection to the people of the country and to protect the country from foreign invasions. The modern armies are using advanced techniques in war field compared to warriors of olden days.
Question 2.
Kings and chiefs built irrigation tanks to improve agriculture in the Kakatiya times. What would they do if they ruled now?
Answer:
The kings and chiefs built irrigation tanks like Pakala. Cheruvulu. Ramappa. Warangal – Bhadrakali cheruvu. They are useful even today – hats off to the long sight of the kings.
Question 3.
How do you think were the Kakatiyas able to gain control over the chiefs?
Answer:
- In ancient period there were many chiefs and clans all over the Andhra Pradesh region who independently controlled a small area. They were constantly at war with neighbouring chiefs and warriors who tried to conquer them.
- As Kakatiya kings became powerful, they were able to persuade many chiefs to accept them as their kings
- Once the chiefs accepted the Kakativa king, the king gave protection to the chiefs from other warriors and chiefs.
Question 4.
Why do you think did the Kakatiyas not appoint powerful chiefs as Nayakas?
Answer:
The Kakativas did not appoint powerful chiefs as Nayakas because
- They may destabilize the kingdom and may not be loyal to Kakatiyas.
- Often the chiefs were rebellions.
- Hence Kakativas encouraged several warriors who were not from powerful families.
- The Kakatiyas thought that the warriors would be loyal to them when compared with chiefs.
Question 5.
Why was it difficult for women to rule in those days? Is it different today? How?
Answer:
A few women like Rudramadevi and Razia Sultana ruled some of the kingdoms at that time. It is different today because women too are ruling countries. There is no discrimination towards women nowadays. All are equal before law. Those men were prejudiced and reluctant to be under the rule of women.
Question 6.
In those days powerful men had their own land and were also able to tax other farmers, traders, and artisans. Can powerful people do this now? Give reasons.
Answer:
No, the powerful people can’t do this now because the administration of kings, chiefs, nayakas, and powerful men had gone. The parliamentary form of democratic government system is introduced in India. As per this system, all are equal before law and all of them have to pay their taxes to government only.

Question 7.
Rudramadevi and Pratuparudra encouraged several skilled warriors who were not from any powerful family but were very loyal to the queen and the king. They gave them high positions and the title of Nayaka. They were given several villages from where they could collect taxes. These villages were called their Naankara. Each nayaka had to maintain a stipulated amount of army from the income, they get from the nayankara for the service of the king.
But they did not keep these vIllages permanently as they could be transferred at the will of the king to a new place. These Navakas depended upon the queen or the king and remained loyal to them. They were also probably used to subdue the rebellious chiefs. This arrangement was called Nayankara system.
Read the above para under the title ‘Nayankara system’ of page 111 and comment on it.
Answer:
- The Kakatiyas introduced decentralization of administration through “Nayankara system”!
- It resembles Mansabdari system of Mughals.
- Some warriors of powerful families were given some villages to collect taxes.
- Each Nayaka had to maintain a stipulated amount of army.
- They could be transferred at the will of the king.

Answer:
Stories of the Palnati Virulu: Palnadu is in the northern region of Guntur district in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is also known as Pallava Nadu. It occupies an important place in Telugu history. After the decline of the Satavahana dynasty, the Pallavas became independent in Krishna river valley 11w region is known as Palnadu in memory of ancient Pallavas. The battle of Palnadu was immortalized in Telugu literature by the poet Srinatha in his Palnati Vira Charitha.

Brahmanna along with his troops lived in exile as per agreement for six and half years after loosing Macherla to Nagamma in a cock fight. After the exile, there was a severe battle between Brahmanaidu forces and Nagamma forces and there was a severe loss of lives. The battle of Palnadu is remembered and propagated through Burra Katha even today by the people of Palnadu region, and through an annual gathering at the battlefield in Karampudi village to pay respect to warriors.
b) Sammakka – Sarakka (or) Saralamma:
Sammakka Saralamma Jatara (or) Medaram Jatara is a tribal festival of honouring the goddess celebrated in the Telangana state of India. The Jatara begins at Medaram in Tadvai Mandai in Warangal District. It commemorates the fight of a mother and daughter, Sammakka and Saralamma, with the reigning rulers against an unjust law. It is believed that after Kumbha Mela, the Medaram Jatara attracts the largest number of devotees in the country.
It is celebrated in Medaram during the time the goddess of the tribal is believed to visit them. Medararn is a remote place in the Eturunagaram wildlife sanctuary, a part of Dandakaranya, the largest surviving forest belt in the Deccan. Sammakka Sarakka Jatara is the time for the largest tribal religious congregation in the world, held every two years.

Katamaraju due to severe drought conditions had migrated with his people to the fertile lands of Nellore, There he entered a covenant with the king of Neliore for grazing his cattle and sheep. Due to misunderstanding, the covenant was broken and resulted in a tremendous battle in which many of the great heroes of both sides lost their lives.
All the above stories describe the battles of the warriors to enable their herder- followers to settle down as agriculturalists.

We have a large number of inscriptions which tell us about the activities of the kings, queens, chiefs, farmers. herders and traders. We also have a number books written about them in Sanskrit and Telugu. Viduantha wrote Prathaparudra Y&w&hushwiarn during the Kakatiya rule. Some works were also written after the end of their rule (Vinukonda Vallabharavas Kridabhiramarnu, Ekamranatha’s Prataparudra Owritratnu) Having read the above passage, can you identify the two important sources of information about the Kakatiya kings?

For example, now towns and cities are developing using modem technology. Warangal is the headquarters of Warangal district. Nowadays agricultural lands and several water tanks are decreasing. We can’t see untouchability nowadays when compared with ancient period. Kakatiya University, Regional Engineering College, and Medical College are the important institutions in Warangal now.

Kakatiyas were ardent devotees of Siva. They built temple in the middle of the city because
- They wanted to show their devotion towards God Siva.
- They could know the opinions of public directly when the public visited temple which was in the middle of the city.
- In olden days. all the cultural and trading activities were related with the temples. They believed that the city could flourish well if the temple was in the middle of the city.
