Q. Which of the following employed a special script known as the ‘Modi script’ in the documents of the revenue and administrative records?
Answer: Marathas
Notes: The Marathas used the Modi script for revenue and administrative records from the 17th century until the early 20th century, when the British replaced it with Devanagari. It enabled faster writing and efficient management of land revenue systems. The name "Modi" comes from the Marathi word "mod," meaning "to break," reflecting its unique character shapes.
