Refer explanation provided below for details. 1. 4 In India, the term First War of Independence was first popularized by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in his 1909 book The History of the War of Indian Independence, which was originally written in Marathi. Hence option 4 is correct. 2. 4 According to the scriptures of all Buddhist schools, the first Buddhist Council was held soon after the death of the Buddha, dated by the majority of recent scholars around 400 BCE, under the patronage of the king Ajatashatru with the monk Mahakasyapa presiding, at Sattapanni caves Rajgriha (now Rajgir). The Second Buddhist Council was held at Vaisali (or Vaishali), an ancient city in what is now the state of Bihar in northern India, bordering Nepal under the patronage of King Kalasoka while it was presided by Sabakami. This Council probably was held about a century after the first one, or about 383 BCE. The Third Buddhist council was convened in about 250 BCE at Asokarama in Pataliputra, supposedly under the patronage of Emperor Ashoka Another Fourth Buddhist Council was held in the Sarvastivada tradition, said to have been convened by the Kushan emperor Kanishka, in 78 AD at Kundalban in Kashmir. Hence option 4 is correct. 3. 1 The Minor Pillar Edicts are the Schism Edict, warning of punishment for dissent in the Samgha, the Queen's Edict, and the Rummindei Edict as well as the Nigali Sagar Edict which record Ashoka's visits and Buddhist dedications in the area corresponding to today's Nepal. Minor pillar edict 2 contains the text of his order to his officers to the effect that the heretical monks and nuns should be expelled from the sangha. Ashoka’s inscriptions also reveal that he was a Buddhist. In the Bhabru and Saranath edicts he makes an open confession of his faith in the trinity— the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha. Ashoka does not appoint followers of Buddhist religion to high govt. post. Hence option 1 is correct. 4. 3 Gandhara is noted for the distinctive Gandhara style of Buddhist art, which developed from a merger of Greek, Syrian, Persian, and local artistic influences. This development began during the Parthian Period (50 BC – 75 AD). The Gandhāran style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th centuries. It declined and was destroyed after the invasion of the White Huns in the 5th century. Hence option 3 is correct. 5. 3 Alexander’s invasion opened four different routes between India and Greece. These were by land as well as by sea. The Greek merchants and craftsmen used this routes to trade with India. Alexander’s generals, like Seleukos, after his death, founded some small kingdoms on the North- West India. These were the centres of trade between India and Greece. The Persians and their ruler Darius were defeated by the Greeks. The Indian states under Persian rule became independent. So, when Alexander came to India there were many independent small Indian kingdoms existing in the Northwest frontier of India. Alexander defeated them and brought most of them under one political control. It indirectly helped the Maurya rulers to bring these areas under their Empire. Again, in some traditions it has been mentioned that Chandragupta Maurya, who founded the Maurya dynasty, acquired some knowledge of military generalship and organization from Alexander. Later, he used it against the Nandas of Magadha and was able to establish a new dynasty. Hence option 3 is correct. 6. 2 Ajatashatru, also known as Kunika, was the son of Bimbisara. The ancient inscription in Government Museum, Mathura refers to him as vaidehi putra Ajatashatru Kunika "Ajatashatru Kunika, the son of Vaidehi." The story of Ajatashatru is found in the Tripiṭaka of Buddhism and Jain Agamas. After the death of his father in about 495 B.C. Ajatshatru came to the throne of Magadha Empire. He ruled for about 32 years, i.e., 495 B.C. to 462 B.C. He was a very ambitious and powerful king. Under him Magadha Empire saw the further extension of its territories in almost all the directions. His greatest achievement was, however, against a powerful confederacy of 36 kingdoms and Republican States, the chief being the Lichchhavis of Vaisali. It took him about 16 years (484 to 468 B.C.) to complete this work. It was not an easy job to defeat the Lichchhavis because they were not only strong and war-like people but also well-united. Later on when Buddha died, Ajatshatru is said to have rushed to Kushinagar and asked for his share of Buddha’s relics, and he built a beautiful Stupa on it. The most important work that was done by Ajatshatru for Buddhism was to call the First Buddhist Council at Rajagriha in about 487 B.C. Because of this action Ajatshatru will ever be remembered in the history of Buddhism. Hence option 2 is correct. 7. 1 The following were the main features of the Civil Disobedience movement: a) The people refused to obey unjust laws. Gandhi led the Dandi March and broke the unjust salt tax law as a challenge to the British Government. b) Foreign cloth was boycotted and liquor shops were picketed. Peasants refused to pay revenue and taxes. People also broke the forest laws. c) Schools, colleges and government offices and institutions were boycotted. d) There was large- scale arrest of people and leaders who participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Hence option 1 is correct. 8. 2 Alawal was the author of several poems on Vaishnava subjects. Abdullah Khan, one of the Sayyid brothers celebrated Basant and Holi festivals of the Hindus. Nawab Mir Jafar in his death bed had requested for the holy Charanamrito (the holy water) of Maa Kiriteswari while suffering from leprosy. Some of the nobles observed the Holi festival and Daulat Rao Scindia and his officers joined Muharram processions in green dress like Muhammadans. Hence option 2 is correct. 9. 4 Special Calcutta Session, 1920, in which Mahatma Gandhi moved the Noncooperation resolution was presided by Lala Lajpat Rai and it was supported by others. Noncooperation movement was launched for two major issues : 1. The British Government’s attitude towards the Khilafat Movement. 2. Its’ failure to protect the innocent people of the Punjab and punish the officers guilty of barbarous behavious towards them Gandhi had announced the launching of the Non Cooperation Movement in August 1920. The Indian National Congress met in September at Calcutta to pass the resolution of the Non Cooperation Movement. Hence option 4 is correct. 10. 4 A bicameral legislature was set up with two houses – Legislative Assembly (forerunner of the Lok Sabha) and the Council of State (forerunner of the Rajya Sabha). There were two lists for administration – central and provincial. Some Indian women also had the right to vote for the first time. Dyarchy was introduced, i.e., there were two classes of administrators – Executive councillors and ministers. Hence option 4 is correct. 11. 3 In 1918, Shahu Maharaj cancelled hereditary Kulkarni system and began talathi system. Shahu Maharaj established Satya Shodhak vidyalaya at Kolhapur in 1913. Also in 1918, Shahu Maharaj abolished Baluta system. Hence option 3 is correct. 12. 1 Following are most of the tools that were used during the Prehistoric period in India: Sharpened sticks, Hammer stones, Choppers, Cleavers, Spears , Nets , Scrapers rounded, and pointed, Harpoons, Hand Axes, Animals skin, Bows and arrows, Shaft straighteners, Arrow shaft smoothers, Spear straightener. Hence option 1 is correct. 13. 2 Pantpradhan or Peshwa - Prime Minister, general administration of the Empire. Moropant Trimbak Pingle was the first Peshwa appointed by Shivaji. Amatya or Mazumdar - Finance Minister, managing accounts of the Empire.[1]In 1662 Nilo Sondeo was appointed as Mazumdar.

A harbor is the essential transit point for the volume of the trade, permitting the imports of goods, which were not in a sufficient amount and the export of items which the country has an excess or has a competitive edge to produce contributing to the progress of its economy.

The city had a very considerable number of foreign settlers. Apart from the Europeans, there were Turks, Jews, Arabians, Persians and Armenians. Surat was a great port and commercial centre. The 17th century was an era of the prosperity for the city of Surat. The two great sources that contributed to the wealth and prosperity of the city were foreign commerce and domestic manufactures.

    3 3 CHAi'Tat II Political Settlement of Khandesh. At the time of Peshwa Bajirao’ s attack on the Sangam Resi- dency in Poona on November 5, 1817, John Briggs was not at Poona. ^ He had joined Elphinstone as latter’ s third Assistant early in 1816, The other two Assistants were ijrancis Vvhiteworth Russell, the third son of the Chief Justice at Calcutta, Sir Henry Russell, ana Henry pottinger, ’ afteriwards well known 2 as Sir Henry brigg*s ciiief job lay in translating the numerous intelligence reports received from the various native courts. He was given this job because, of his ’ acquaintenance 3 with the languages'. Long before Briggs came to Poona, he had acquired proficiency in Hindustani and Persian. During the period 1812 and 1613, Briggs had remained at Jalna, with the Hyderabad Expeditionary force as Persiaii interpreter to the army. His Conaiiandant employed him, it seems, even as an 4 intelligence officer. He was also in the field-carriage department and seems tc have worked as a supply-officer also. In the latter capacity he ’was brought in communication very frequently with that singular race divided into many clans, of itinerant dealers in grain and salt, the Prinjarries.* Banjara or wanjari in Marathi. He also, probably, acquired the nece- ssary skill in elicitating real news from these people. It was tills skilx and acquintance, that must have induced Elphinstone to employ Briggs as an intelligence officer, euphemistically 3 9 called the translator. Briggs, in his autobiographical notes, gives the details of the intelligence service orgar nised by Elphinstone, not only at Poona but also at the various courts of India.

I have now fulfilled my obligation. Karan Raam Thaakor Raam Mehtaa. SumanHouse. Mumbai. 24 February 1943 ____________________________________ PREFACE I – Nila Mehta Patel have decided to translate “Vadnagraa Naagar of Surat” into English and at the same time to put it on CD for the benefit of those who can not read Gujarati and who prefer to deal with the computer rather than read the book. I have lost touch with Gujarati and English, being my step mother tongue, I am sure I will have many difficulties and there may be plenty of mistakes. But I am sure, the reader will ignore those mistakes and regard with indulgence such errors. The system of transliteration has not following any established rules. I have tried to spell the names as they are pronounced, trying to keep the grammar side correct. The names appear to be very long, but hopefully they can be pronounced correctly. Legend: Short vowel a only one –a- means sound like in “cedar” Long vowel a two –aa- means sound in “far” f- Female x –married to b- birth date (English calender) d- death date ( English calender) 0-no children When a girl gets married, her husband’s name appears at the bottom of her name with whom she is married.
