How did the nawabs and raja's lose their power

Himanshi Malik 8 years, 3 months ago

The Indian nawabs, rajas and princes were shot-sighted. After the weakening of Mughal Empire, the newly emerged independent states wanted to extend their borders. At that time Bharat was divided into very small states after the Mughal Empire's collapse. The nawabs and rajas were involved with each other in constant conflicts. They took the help of the foreign trading companies(i.e. French, Dutch, Portuguese and British) as they used to trade modern weapons to India from West. In turn to help the states win, they demanded to trade without taxes and control over some jagirs of their empire. Slowly they became more powerful and suppressed the rulers who helped them. After some wars with other traders like French, Dutch etc., they won over them too and thus till 1857, they took control over the entire BHARAT.

Right to Equality is a fundamental right promised by the Indian constitution. This right ensures that every person, despite of his religion, caste, gender, race, ***, background etc. would be treated equally. If a person thinks that his/her fundamental rights have been violated by the state, he/she may approach the court. This is 'Right to Equality'.

What is shifting cultivation

Posted by Chelluri Sriram 8 years, 3 months ago

CBSE > Class 08 > Social Science

1 answers

Dharmik Rathi 8 years, 3 months ago

Shifting cultivation was a method of cultivation used by the tribals in the nineteenth century. It was done on small patches of land, mostly in forests. The cultivators cut the treetops so that the sunlight could reach the ground. They then burnt the vegetation on the land to clear it for cultivation. They spread the ash produced from the firing as it contained potash which was used to fertilise the soil. They used the axe to cut trees and the hoe to scratch the soil in order to prepare it for cultivation. They scattered the seeds instead of ploughing the field and sowing the seeds. Once the crop was ready and harvested, they moves to another field to do the same process again. A field that had been cultivated once was left fallow for several years. This is shifting cultivation.
