Title

EARLY MEDIEVAL AGRARIAN FORMATION OF MITHILA

Abstract

In early medieval period, the agrarian society of Mithila underwent a radical change. In Post-Gupta period Mithila became an essay shelter of numerous rajputa clans and militant tribes from various parts of Indian subcontinent, causing the formation of countless small principalities and feudatories. The early medieval Mithila folk sagas, Lorikain, Raiya Ranpal and Raja Salhesh refer to a sizeable number of principalities held by the chieftains of different high and low castes of sudra varna. The process of proliferation and fragmentation further accelerated when the Pala and Karnata rulers granted lands to the temples, brahmanas and their ministers on large scale. This further localized the political authority based on land. Early medieval Mithila also witnessed a sharp decline in trade and commerce and a distinct upsurge of sudras. The society of Mithila basically became agriculturist and pastoral, dominated by the sudras. However, the brahmanas succeeded in extending the process of Brahmaninazation of the new settlers of Mithila and extended their hold over the society. The state accepted and sanctioned the local authority of the chieftains of different communities and granted lands to brahmanas and royal high officials to balance the agrarian society for effective state control. And thus, the ancient varna based agrarian society transformed into a feudal agrarian society based on land and local political authority. The present paper is an attempt to analyse the agrarian structure of early medieval Mithila, which facilitated the growth of composite Mithila culture.
