Taxes on crops were the most important. This was because most people were farmers. Usually, the tax was fixed at 1/6th of what was produced. This was known as bhagaor a share. There were taxes on crafts persons as well. These could have been in the form of labour. For example, a weaver or a smith may have had to work for a day every month for the king. Herders were also expected to pay taxes in the form of animals and animal produce.

There were two major changes in agriculture around the time of Mahajanapadas. One was the growing use of iron ploughshares. This meant that heavy, clayey soil could be turned over better than with a wooden ploughshare, so that more grain could be produced. Second, people began transplanting paddy. This meant that instead of scattering seed on the ground, from which plants would sprout, saplings were grown and then planted in the fields.

Consider the following statements about the famous Gupta king: 1. He was the son of the Gupta emperor Kumaragupta I. 2. He restored and repaired Sudarshana lake. 3. In his Bhitari inscription, he claimed victory over the Hunas. Which of the following ruler is being described by the above statements?
|
Chandragupta I
|
Skandagupta
|
Chandragupta II
|
Chandragupta I
|
Skandagupta was a son of the Gupta emperor Kumaragupta I. Skandagupta ascended the throne in year 136 of the Gupta era (c. 455-456 CE). The Junagarh inscription gives the information about the Sudharshan lake that the lake was an artificial reservoir, was built by the Mauryan emperors for checking floods. Around 150 AD, the lake was repaired by the Shaka ruler Rudradaman I. And, it was again repaired under the Skandgupta’s reign (415 AD- 455AD) by his governor Parnadatta. His Bhitari pillar inscription suggests that he restored the Gupta power by defeating his enemies, who may have been rebels or foreign invaders. He repulsed an invasion by the Indo-Hephthalites (known as Hunas in India). He seems to have maintained control of his inherited territory and is generally considered the last of the great Gupta Emperors. Samudragupta was a ruler of the Gupta Empire of Ancient India. As a son of the Gupta emperor Chandragupta I and the Licchavi princess Kumaradevi, he greatly expanded his dynasty's political power. Chandragupta II, also called Vikramaditya, powerful emperor (reigned c. 380–c. 415 ce) of northern India. He was the son of Samudra Gupta and grandson of Chandragupta I. During his reign, art, architecture, and sculpture flourished, and the cultural development of ancient India reached its climax.
