Chapter 130: Integration

Wardha village

This small village is an isolated village that is 80 km on the outskirts of Nagpur in Maharashtra.

The villagers, being isolated from the urban environment, led very simple daily lives. Because they were so isolated, no Mughal officer chose to stay in the village. This turned out to be very fortunate for the villagers as they did not have to suffer like many other villages and towns that had better transportation and were more open to the outside world. Once a month, a tax collector would come and collect taxes from the panchayat.
