- Statement i is correct because Raja Hari Singh did sign the instrument of accession to India, which formally integrated Jammu and Kashmir into India.
- Statement ii is also correct as Jammu and Kashmir is indeed divided into the regions of Jammu, Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh.
- Statement iii is incorrect because Article 370 grants special autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir, making it different from other states in India.
- Statement iv is incorrect because a plebiscite has not been conducted despite the initial promise made at the time of accession.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A: i and ii.

The Vijayanagara Kings actively competed with contemporary rulers, such as the Bahmani Sultanate and other Deccan sultanates, for control over fertile river valleys. These valleys, particularly those along the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, were crucial for agriculture, irrigation, and trade. The Vijayanagara Empire (1336–1646 CE) strategically expanded its territory to dominate these rich lands, ensuring economic prosperity and sustaining its powerful kingdom.

François Bernier, in his writings on Mughal India, presented an oversimplified view of landownership. He compared the Mughal system with European feudalism and argued that the Mughal emperor owned all the land, leading to what he saw as a lack of private property rights. However, his perspective overlooked the complexities of land tenure in India, such as the role of zamindars (landholders), jagirdars (revenue collectors), and local village communities in managing land. His Eurocentric viewpoint failed to fully capture the diversity and intricacies of landownership in Mughal India.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Buddhists rejected the rigid Brahmanical caste system and proposed an alternative perspective on social inequalities. They emphasized ethical conduct, merit, and karma rather than birth-based hierarchy. Buddhist teachings promoted the idea that a person's status should be determined by their actions rather than their caste, which challenged the prevailing Brahmanical social order.
