In the Tamil region, large landowners were known as kadaisiyar: This statement is incorrect. In the Tamil region, large landowners were known as vellalar or ulavar, not kadaisiyar.

In northern India, the position of Grama Bhojaka (village headmen) was of hereditary nature: This statement is generally correct. In northern India, during ancient times, the position of Grama Bhojaka was often hereditary, meaning it passed down within families or lineages.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
