★The ur was the common assembly and the basic unit of village life.
★It was associated with both the village and its assembly, and was a non-brahmadeya village.
★The brahmadeya village council was the sabha or Mahasabha.
★Bodies like the nadu did assess and collect revenue, so the fourth statement is wrong.
