With reference to the eligibility criteria for becoming the member of a 'Sabha' as laid down in the Uttarmerur inscription, consider the following statements :
1. The candidate should have his own house and his own plot of land
2. The candidate should be within 60 years of age and above 30 years

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

The Uttarmerur inscription (Chingleput district, Tamil Nadu), dating to the reign of the Chola king Parantaka I, provides detailed information about the functioning of the Sabha (the assembly of Brahmin landholders). According to the inscription, the eligibility criteria for membership included:

  • The candidate must be an owner of land from which land revenue is collected.
  • The candidate must have his own house.
  • The candidate must be between 35 and 70 years of age (Statement 2 is incorrect as it mentions 30 to 60 years).
  • The candidate must have knowledge of the Vedas and be well-versed in administrative matters.

Since Statement 1 correctly identifies the requirement for land ownership and a personal house, and Statement 2 provides the incorrect age range, only Statement 1 is correct.
