What advice was put forth by the dewan to the Maharaja on the matter of the land tax?

Solution

When it became impossible to find out the hundredth tiger, the anger of the Maharaja flew at its height. He called the dewan and ordered him to double the land tax forthwith. At this the dewan advised the king that the people would become discontented. The state would fall a prey to the Indian National Congress. But the king did not relent and asked him to resign.
