 Samraj - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
The first Latin Emperors of Constantinople on the other hand had to be present in the newly conquered capital of their Empire, because that was the only place where they could be granted to become Emperor.
Instead, these first Emperors constructed their office as a complicated collection of offices, titles, and honours, that were consolidated around a single person and his closest relatives (while in the republic the "taking of turns", often in shared offices, had been the principle for passing on power).
In 913 Simeon I of Bulgaria was crowned emperor (tsar) in a makeshift ceremony officiated by the Patriarch of Constantinople and imperial regent Nicholas I Mystikos outside of the Byzantine capital.

The Mogul emperor Akbar is remembered as tolerant, at least by the standards of the day: only one major massacre was recorded during his long reign (1542-1605), when he ordered most of the captured inhabitants of a fort be slain on February 24, 1568, after the battle for Chitor.
Between 1636 and 1646, Shah Jahan sent Mughal armies to conquer the Deccan and the lands to the northwest of the empire, beyond the Khyber Pass.

The court of Emperor Vikramaditya, was graced by nine philosophers and scientists.
The period from the fall of the Maurya empire in the 2nd century B.C.E. upto rise of the Guptas in the 3rd century C.E. saw a string of smaller dynasties rule from Patliputra.
The reason for such mobility probably was that the Emperor wanted to be physically present at as many places of his kingdom, to collect tribute (taxes) and to prevent the fissiparous tendencies of the rebellious noblemen who paid him tribute.

 11. Are neo-Buddhists- Hindus?
This list of promises is unique in the history of Buddhism, in that it not only professes to follow the Buddhist way, but also attacks a non-Buddhist tradition and rejects the devotion to a number of Gods whose worship was propagated outside India by Buddhism itself.
Thus, in a list of parables from the Pali Canon, we find the well-known simile: “Whether kindled by a priest, a warrior, a trader or a serf, from whatsoever type of fuel, a fire will emit light and heat; even so, all men, regardless of caste, are equally capable of the highest spiritual attainment.”
This merely says that the spiritual dimension is common to all, not that the differentiation of men into castes or even the secular inequality between these castes should be abolished.

 THE IRANIAN: Pallava empire of Dravidia, Samar Abbas
Pallava administration was based on the Maurya pattern, which was in turn based on that of the Achaemenid Empire.
The Pallavas thus sought to emulate the Maurya kings, who were of Iranic origin (Spooner 1915, p.406ff).
The Cōḷas, for instance claimed Manu, Ikṣvāku, Māndhātr, Mucukunda and Śibi; the Pāṇḍyas were descended from the emperor Purūravas; the C ēras had Sagara, Bhagiratha, Raghu, Daśaratha and Rāma for their ancestors.

 the semiperiphery
A list of such cases known to most world historians would include:  the Akkadian empire, the Kassites, Assur, Upper Egypt, the Medes, Achaemenids, Hittites, Hyksos, Macedonia, Rome, Normans, Maurya, Shang, Chou, Manchus, Toltecs, Aztecs, Huari, and Inka.
Another list might be constructed of semi-autonomous towns that carried on extensive trade as a result of being located on overland routes, such as those on the Silk Road that made a living by linking the distant cores of Eurasia.
Some of these, like the specialized maritime cities, obtained much of their basic foodstuffs through trade, and served as agents of commodification.
