Discussion
According to the Uttaramerur inscription, who could become a member of a Sabha ?
(A) The owners of land from which land revenue is collected.
(B) They should be between 25 and 70 years of age.
(C) They should have their own houses.
(D) They should have knowledge of the Vedas.
Answer: A
Statements A, C and D are correct, so the answer is Only (A), (C) and (D).
The Chola-period inscription from Uttaramerur, in Chingleput district of Tamil Nadu, sets out who could be a member of the village sabha. Members had to own land from which land revenue was collected (A), had to have their own homes (C), and had to have knowledge of the Vedas (D). They also had to be well-versed in administration and honest.
Statement B is wrong because the inscription gives the age limits as 35 to 70 years, not 25 to 70. Options that include B, or that leave out C or D, do not match the inscription.
