British India
Modern democratic institutions
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) Pre-Namgyal Sikkim.
The title “Kazi” is a hereditary title used by some communities in Sikkim. It is derived from the Sanskrit word “ká¹£atriya”, which means “warrior” or “nobleman”. The title was originally used by the rulers of Sikkim before the Namgyal Dynasty came to power in the 17th century. After the Namgyal Dynasty came to power, the title “Kazi” was used by the Namgyal rulers to appoint their officials. The title is still used today by some communities in Sikkim, and it is considered to be a high-ranking title.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Namgyal Dynasty did not come to power until the 17th century, and the title “Kazi” was already in use before that time.
- Option c) is incorrect because British India did not have any influence on the administrative system of Sikkim before the 19th century.
- Option d) is incorrect because modern democratic institutions did not come to power in Sikkim until the 20th century.
