Powers and Functions of the Chief Minister: The Chief Minister holds a pivotal position in the working of the State Government. He has enormous powers and vast responsibilities. 1. To Aid and Advice the Governor: The Chief Minister is the link between the Cabinet and the Governor. It is he who communicates to the Governor all decisions of the Council of Ministers. He has to furnish such information relating to the administration of the State as the Governor may call for. The Governor can submit to the consideration of the Council of Ministers any matter on which decision has been taken by a Minister but which has not been considered by the Council of Ministers. The Governor appoints a large number of top officials of the State. He also summons and prorogues the sessions of State Legislature. All such powers are exercised by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister.

If he declines, he will be dismissed by the Governor.

The Chief Minister intervenes in debates of general importance. He can appease an angry House by promising immediate relief or concessions when needed. Position of the Chief Minister: The Chief Minister’s position is pre-eminent in the State governmental system. In practice, his position will be imposing only when his party commands a clear majority in the State Legislature. When it is a coalition government, it becomes difficult to safeguard the principle of collective responsibility also. Much of the time and energy of the Chief Minister will, in that case, be wasted on keeping his team united and sufficiently disciplined. 2.

The ebb and flow research paper inspects how "Structure" and "Space" as compositional components of hallowed design of Hampi represent the regal power or philosophy. It presents writing investigation of the relationship of Hampi's history, craftsmanship and design. It likewise incorporates site investigations of Hampi's landmarks concentrating on hallowed focal point of Hampi. It uncovers components of "structure making" and "space making" of the sanctuaries that were utilized by the rulers to speak to imperial power and their belief systems.

The paper reasons that the key area of Hampi along the waterway Tungabhadra in the sloping reach, the critical area of the holy community, the great scope, central components utilized, focal yards, itemizing, models of Virupakshi and Vithalla sanctuary edifices demonstrate that the rulers utilized these to speak to regal power and their belief systems.

It was the chief instrument for the preservation of the political independence from Muslim aggression and for the natural and unfettered development of South Indian culture in all its phases. The greatness of the kingdom can easily be gauged from the magnificence and wealth of its capital, the city of Vijayanagar, which is testified to by the travellers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the ruins of which even now excite our admiration by their grandeur and extensiveness. This empire and its wealth of output remained totally unknown till about half a century ago.

  • Unit Iii: Vijaynagar Administration and Socio-Cultural Aspects
    UNIT III: VIJAYNAGAR ADMINISTRATION AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS: ADMINISTRATION: A. Vijanagar empire: The Empire was divided for administrative purposes into several provinces such as rajya, mandala and chavadi, which again was sub-divided into venthe- A territorial division higher than a nadu, nadu- A territorial division higher than a village, sima- A portion of land comprising several fields village and sthala- A territorial division higher than a parru, which was again higher than a nadu. According to H. Krishna Shastri, the empire was divided into six provinces. Each province was under a viceroy, nayaka or naik, who might be a member of the royal house or an influential noble of the State, or some descendents of the old ruling families. Each viceroy exercised civil, military and judicial powers within his jurisdiction, but he was required to submit regular accounts of the income and expenditures of his charge to the central government and render it military aid in times of need. Further he was liable to severe punishment by the king if he proved to be a traitor or oppressed the people, and his estate could be confiscated to the state if he made default in sending one-third of his income to the king. Though the naik were severe in raising revenue from the people, they were not unmindful of the beneficial work like the encouragement of agriculture, the plantation of new villages, protection of religion and erection of temples and other buildings. The amara-nayaka system: the ‘amara’ is believed to have been derived from a Sanskrit word samara, meaning battle or war.

  • Krishnadevaraya and His Political Theory of Vijayanagara
    A new imperial idiom in the sixteenth century: Krishnadevaraya and his political theory of Vijayanagara Velcheru Narayana Rao David Shulman Sanjay Subrahmanyam Introduction The 1510s were a busy time – though perhaps not unusually so -- in the military life of the Vijayanagara emperor Krishnadevaraya (r. 1509-1529).1 The early years of his reign had seen this ruler, son of the great Tuluva warlord Narasa Nayaka, and his younger wife Nagaladevi, preoccupied first with wars to the north, and then in campaigns to the south-east against the Sambuvarayars. But from about 1514, a series of campaigns took him to the distant north-east, where he managed to extend his domains considerably, as far as the Godavari river and its delta. Inscriptions such as an entire series on the second prākāra of the Tirumalai temple inform us that this ruler, described by an elaborate title which includes the interesting epithet Yavanarājya-sthāpanācārya – ‘the lord who established the kingdom of the Muslims’ – set out in about 1514 from his capital of Vijayanagara on ‘an eastern expedition’, and went on to capture not only Udayagiri, but such centres as Addanki, Vinukonda and Nagarjunakonda, to say nothing of the great fort of Kondavidu, where we learn that he ‘laid siege to it, erected square sheds around the fort, demolished the rampart walls, occupied the citadel [and] captured alive Virabhadraraya, son of Prataparudra Gajapatideva’.2 He then made further substantial inroads into the kingdom of the Gajapati rulers of Orissa, captured a number of members of the Gajapati family as well as subordinate rulers (pātra-sāmantas and manneyars), but released them and having given them ‘an assurance of safety for their lives’, eventually returned to the city of Vijayanagara.

  • II HISTORICAL DACKGROUND ANDHRA DESA, Like
    CllAl’TER - II HISTORICAL DACKGROUND ANDHRA DESA, like many uthor parts uf lindia, has been a continuus human inhabitation since prehist(jric limes, as attested by the lithic imple­ ments, artefacts, utensils and the personal belongings of the deceased\ persons found in the explorations and discovered in the later megalithic burials opened at the sites like Kurnool. Yolcswaram, Nagarjunakonda, Dharanikola, Peddabankur a n d Kondapur. Further, Andhras as a race have been found recorded, earliest in AITAREYA URAllMANA (AD-VII-8) datable to C.600 BC, followed in the works like CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD, APASTHAMBHA GRHYASUTItA, MAHABIIARATllA. HARIVAMSA PURANA, SUTTANIPATA. SERIVANIJA JATAKA AND THE LIKE. Megasthanese's INDICA refers to Andhra to be a territory comprising many villages, 30 fortified towns and an army consisting of 1,00,000 elephants. The 13lh Major Rock Edict of Ashoka refers to Andhra as the bordering land of the empire. However, excluding the literary eviden­ ces, in the absence of any historical data, a fair account of Andhras begins / with the emergence of Satavahanas as a distinct political dynasty, having ruled for about two and half centuries. A brief account of the important political dynasties referred to in the inscriptions under study, to the extent needed for the present work, is as follows: Controversies over the chrono- j logy and the genaeology of the dynasties and the rulers have been left undiscussed. SATAVAHANAS: Satavahanas rose as an independent power following the decadence of the Sungas. Thirty rulers of the dynasty have ruled for about 250 years, beginning C.SU HC to C. 225 AD.
