Medieval and Modern Indian History

The Akbar Nama records that the Gond kingdom of Garha Katanga was a large and prosperous state consisting of 70,000 villages.

Banjara caravans, which were used for transporting grain and other goods across India, were known as Tanda.

The Gond kingdoms were organized into administrative units called Garhs, each controlled by a particular Gond clan.

The Khokhar tribe was very influential in the Punjab region during the 13th and 14th centuries. They were known for their power and political significance in that area before the Gakkhar tribe became more prominent.

The Ahom state relied on forced labor known as paiks. Every adult male in the kingdom had to serve in the military or perform public works as part of this system.

The Gond kingdom was organized into a hierarchical structure: the kingdom was divided into Garhs, which were further divided into Chaurasis (groups of 84 villages), and then into Barhots (groups of 12 villages).

Rani Durgawati was the queen of the Gond kingdom of Garha Katanga. She was the widow of Dalpat Shah, not Sangram Shah.

The Mau Mau Uprising was a militant rebellion in Kenya against British colonial rule, primarily involving the Kikuyu people.

The Amritsar Massacre in 1919, where British troops fired on a peaceful crowd, was a turning point that galvanized the Indian independence movement.

Following the Sepoy Rebellion (1857-1858), the British government abolished the rule of the East India Company and took direct control of India through the British Crown.

Sepoys were Indian soldiers who served in the armies of the British East India Company.

The Sepoy Rebellion caused deep mistrust between the British and Indians, as the British became more suspicious of Indian soldiers and the Indian population.

Wood's Despatch was indeed sent in 1854 to the Governor-General of India (then Lord Dalhousie). It outlined a comprehensive education system from primary to university level. The statement is true.

The Sanskrit College at Benaras was established in 1791, not 1793, and it was not called the 'Hindu College' in the modern sense.

The Battle of Plassey, which marked the beginning of British political dominance in India, took place in 1757. It was a decisive victory for the British East India Company over the Nawab of Bengal.
