| How did Orme characterize the design of the fort? | so absurd, that it was much less defensible than many of the ancient barons' castles of Europe. | He reached that place on the 24th of June, 1757 with a large force of 600 Europeans, 6,000 sepoys and 30 pieces of cannon. Orme gives the following disparaging account of the then fortifications of the place: "A river coming from the north and turning south-eastward to the sea, forms an arm of Land, a mile and a half in length and 600 yards in breadth. Nearly in the middle of this ground stands the fort, of which the construction by repeated mistakes was become so absurd, that it was much less defensible than many of the ancient barons' castles of Europe. The face towards the river was choked by houses. | 466 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/123/download/142/DH_2011_2813_PART_B_DCHB_VISAKHAPATNAM.pdf | Nearly in the middle of this ground stands the fort, of which the construction by repeated mistakes was become so absurd, that it was much less defensible than many of the ancient barons' castles of Europe.

In 1685 the friendship with the Faujdar was further cemented by a present of saltpetre, powder and lead, which he earnestly desired owing to the possibility of a war with his northern neighbours, but which the Dutch at Bhimilipatam had steadfastly refused to supply. | 371 | relationship | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/123/download/142/DH_2011_2813_PART_B_DCHB_VISAKHAPATNAM.pdf | In 1685 the friendship with the Faujdar was further cemented by a present of saltpetre, powder and lead, which he earnestly desired owing to the possibility of a war with his northern neighbours, but which the Dutch at Bhimilipatam had steadfastly refused to supply. | 21 | page=21,block=1 | 0.800 | valid |

| What development resulted in the Faujdar releasing the prisoners and returning the Company's property? | peace was made with Aurangazeb | September, therefore, the Faujdar sent his 'Rashwar' to Vizagapatam for seizing and bringing away the English. The British factory was surrounded. There was a small skirmish and finally the Company's property was seized and the Englishmen taken prisoners. In 1690 peace was made with Aurangazeb whereupon the Faujdar released the prisoners and restored the Company's property. Later on account of disturbances of a local nature and also on account of the threatened invasion from the Maharattas the factory and its surrounding areas had to be fortified. In 1753 the Circars were ceded to the French; and at the end of 1756 Bussy, free at last from other embarrassment, marched into them to restore his shaken authority, seized Bobbili, quieted Ganjam, captured Injaram and the other English factories in the Godavari area and then marched in person against Vizagapatam. | 264 | relationship | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/123/download/142/DH_2011_2813_PART_B_DCHB_VISAKHAPATNAM.pdf | In 1690 peace was made with Aurangazeb whereupon the Faujdar released the prisoners and restored the Company's property. | 22 |
| What did the Raja think the Government's orders would result in? | the entire extinction of his power | These people were pacified by an assurance from the Chief that the Company would discharge their claims and the Raja was left without excuse for further non-compliance with the orders of the Government. His reluctance to leave his country was however, extreme. He considered the orders not only harsh and disparaging to his position, but as a sure precursor of the entire extinction of his power. He seems to have hoped that a determined attitude would save extreme measures, and so retired with his camp to Padmanabham, a village between Vizianagaram and Bhimilipatam and in quite the opposite direction to the main road to Masulipatam. By this open movement he was now declared by the Chief and Council to have broken with the Company; and intelligence was shortly received which left very little doubt of his intentions. | 361 | relationship | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/123/download/142/DH_2011_2813_PART_B_DCHB_VISAKHAPATNAM.pdf | He considered the orders not only harsh and disparaging to his position, but as a sure precursor of the entire extinction of his power. | 27 | page=27,block=1 |

| What indicates that the later Gangas were related to the earlier Gangas? | they also worshiped the Gokarnaswami on Mahendragiri and ruled from Kalinganagara | Rajaraja-I of Tanjore overthrew him in 999-1000 and set up a pillar of victory on the hill. The Gangas were followed by the later line of the same name who, as they also worshiped the Gokarnaswami on Mahendragiri and ruled from Kalinganagara, were apparently of the same family. Calculations from dates in copper grants show that they were in power from the end of the 9th Century. One of them, Rajaraja, ascended the throne in 1070-71 and reigned eight years, during which time he is said to have helped the Vengi kings against the Cholas and afterwards defeated both of them and also the ruler of Utkala (Odisha) and other monarchies. Under his son, Anantavarman-Choda-Ganga, who ruled from 1078 A.D. for about 72 years, this family reached the zenith of its power. | 160 | relationship | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/123/download/142/DH_2011_2813_PART_B_DCHB_VISAKHAPATNAM.pdf | The Gangas were followed by the later line of the same name who, as they also worshiped the Gokarnaswami on Mahendragiri and ruled from Kalinganagara, were apparently of the same family. | 17 |
