Question

The Amara-Nayaka system resembled Delhi's:

• A. Iqta System
• B. Zamindari System
• C. Talukdari System
• D. Ryotwari System

Hint:

The Amara-Nayaka system, like the Iqta system, combined revenue collection with military obligations, a model of decentralized power.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Amara-Nayaka system, used in the Vijayanagara Empire, was similar to the Iqta system of the Delhi Sultanate. Under this system, military governors (Amara-Nayakas) controlled regions and were assigned land revenues in return for military service. This system helped the central administration maintain control over the vast empire by decentralizing power while ensuring that local governance was maintained.
