Which aspect of Chola administration is similar to the governing policies in present times?

• A. International governance bodies
• B. Dictatorship
• C. Fundamental duties
• D. Local governance bodies

Answer 1

The correct option is D Local governance bodies

The Chola administration is revered even today because they followed decentralisation of power. Decentralisation of power in the administrative setup allowed the Cholas to manage their massive empire with ease. It refers to the transfer of power or authority from the central to the local governments. The Cholas had Central, Provincial and Local Governments in place, and this helped in effectively managing their massive empire.
