Question
Discuss the administration of Gond State.

Answer

The administrative system of Gond kingdom was centralized:
  • The kingdom was divided into Garhs. Each Garh was controlled by a Gond clan.
  • Garhs were further divided into units of 84 villages called chaurasi which were further subdivided into 12 villages called barhots.
  • The society was divided into unequal social classes. Brahmanas received land grants and became more influential.
  • The Gond chiefs wanted to be recognized as Rajputs so the Raja of Garha Katanga assumed the title of Sangram shah.
  • The mughals finally defeated the Gonds and annexed a part of kingdom.
