Mahasabha Village Assembly Administration Gleaned By Incerptions

Abstract

Medieval administration refers to the system of governance and organization during the middle ages, a period that roughly spans from the 6^th Century to the 16th century. It was a time of monarchy, where power was decentralized and held by local assemblies. The administration during this period was characterized by a hierarchical structure and a combination of centralization and local autonomy. Most medieval states were monarchies, with Kings and Udankuttathars, Ministers as an advisory body of the central authority. However, the power of the monarchs varied across different regions and kingdoms. The Tamil monarchs had more decentralized authority.
