INTRODUCTION

In the later Vedic period, the tribal organisations changed its identity and gradually shifted to
the territorial identity, and the area of settlement were now regarded as janapadas or states. In
transition from tribe to monarchy, they lost the essential democratic pattern of the tribe but
retained the idea of government through an assembly representing the tribes. These states
consisted of either a single tribe such as Shakyas, Kolias, Malas etc. The people in the lower
Ganges Valley and Delta, which were outside the Aryan pale, were not incorporated. There
was, therefore, a strong consciousness of the pure land of the Aryans called Aryavarta. Each
janapada tried to dominate and subjugate other janapadas to become Mahajanapadas.
