What is Chapter Review about?

Chapter 2 of Gifts of Power by James Heitzman explores the agrarian economy of medieval Cholamandalam, focusing on irrigation technology and property relations. Heitzman argues that local notables, rather than the state, were primarily responsible for irrigation construction, and that the concept of kani defined property rights in this society. The chapter illustrates a decentralized agrarian economy where temple networks played a crucial role in redistributing resources and legitimizing land rights.
