Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow : Islamic Calendar The Hijri era was established during the caliphate of Umar, with the first year falling in 662 CE. A date in the Hijri calendar is followed by the letters AH. The Hijri year is a lunar year of 354 days, 12 months (Muharram to Dhul Hijja) of 29 or 30 days. Each day begins at sunset and each month with the sighting of the crescent moon. The Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than teh solar year. Therefore, none of the Islamic religious festivals, including the Ramazan fast, Id and hajj, corresponds in any way to seasons. There is no easy way to match the dates in the Hijri calendar with the dates in the Gregorian calendar (established by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 CE). One can calculate the rough equivalents between the Islamic (H) and Gregorian Christian (C) years with the following formulae : (H xx 32"/" 33)+ 622 = C (C- 622) xx 33 "/" 32 = H How can we calculate the rough equivalents between the Islamic (H) and Gregorian Christian (C) years? |

What do you know about agriculture of the Central Islamic lands? |
| Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :Agricultural was the main occupation of the settled population, since long. It also remained a major occupation in newly acquired territories. The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bulk-403774" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BULK">BULK</a> of income of the state was derived from the agricultural land. <br/> Land was owned by the small and big farmers and in some cases by the state. After Islamic conquests, big estates were abandoned and acquired by the state. Later on these states were handed over to Muslim elites. The chief among them were the members of Khalifa.s (Caliph.s) army. <br/> The land conquered by the Arabs, which remained in the hands of the owners were subjected to a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tax-1239527" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TAX">TAX</a>, called Kharaj, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/varied-2321992" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VARIED">VARIED</a> from `(1)/(2)" to "(1)/(5)th` of the produce. While the land cultivated by the Muslims were levied `(1)/(10)th` of tax, known as ushr as land revenue. When non-Muslims stated converting to Islam, the land revenue income fell dramatically. To meet the shortfall, the Caliphs decided to discourage the conversions and later adopted a uniform land revenue policy. <br/> After 10th century, the state authorised its officials to claim salaries from the agricultural territories called Iqtas (The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/person-25481" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PERSON">PERSON</a> who held the Iqtas came to be known as Iqtadars). Agricultrual prosperity and political stability went hand-in-hand. To ensure agricultural prosperity it took several measures such as canals were constructed, dams were built, the digging of wells, etc. were done. Tax concessions were peasants and state people who brought land under cultivation. By the initiatives of peasants and state support the agriculture began to increase.
