Q4:- Discuss various approaches to study Indian feudalism. To what extent European model of feudalism is relevant in the Indian context?


FEUDALISM the name used for a group of customs, embracing the political and economic sides of life, which gave to society its characteristic shape during the greater part of the Middle Ages. The rise of the institutions which we call feudal became noticeable shortly after the Germanic invasions, and they attained their highest development from the ninth to the thirteenth century. With the beginning of the fourteenth century certain nonfeudal institutions appeared, and gradually a more modern type of society began to take form. These changes, slow at first, became more rapid and fundamental until eventually the feudal system, as such, was quite overthrown, though certain customs lingered far down into modern times and in some few respects still exercise considerable influence in various countries. Feudalism, therefore, must be studied in its origin, its period of highest development, and its decline; and in the examination of the chief features of the system attention must be paid to the way in which it affected (1) personal relationship, (2) landholding, and (3) the distribution of political power.
