1.) The Banjara are a community usually described as nomadic people from the northwestern belt of the Indian subcontinent [from Afghanistan to the state of Rajasthan] but now found in other areas of India also.

2.) After being organised into a state tribal societies changed a lot. Their administrative system began to be centralised. Their kingdom was divided into garhs. Each garh was controlled by a particular tribal clan. This was further divided into units of 84 villages called chaurasi. The chaurasi was further divided into barhots, which were made up of 12 villages each.

Tribal kings or rajas began to grant land to Brahmanas, poets and scholars. They also wised to be recognised as Rajputs. for exp Aman Das, the tribal king assumed the title of Sangram Shah. Tribal kings also annexed smaller neighbouring kingdoms. We can cite the example of Ahom. It annexed the kingdom of Koch-Hajo. The Ahoms built a large state and for this they used firearms.

3.) The ancient Varna system did not have much of significance in the social order in the society. If one was a Brahmin, it may have meant a lot to other Varnas, but inside his own Varna, he was just another individual with no identity. The need for identity within a single Varna led to the development of Jati system inside the Varna system. There was no Jati system in ancient India, and even the Chinese Scholar Hsuan Tsang has not mentioned anything about it in his writings. The literal translation of the word Jati gives us the word birth.

4.) In geography, statistics and archaeology, a settlement, locality or populated place is a community in which people live. A settlement can range in size from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Settlements may include Hamlets, villages, towns and cities. A settlement may have known historical properties such as the date or era in which it was first settled, or first settled by a particular people.

In the field of geospatial predictive modelling, settlements are "a city, town, village ghost or other agglomeration of buildings where people live and work.

A settlement conventionally includes its constructed facilities such as roads, enclosures, fields systems, boundary banks and ditches, ponds, parks and woods, wind and water mills, manor houses, moats and churches.

The oldest remains that have been found of constructed dwellings are remains of huts that were made of mud and branches around 17,000 BC at the Ohalo site (now underwater) near the edge of the Sea of Galilee. The Natufians built houses, also in the Levant, around 10,000 BC. Remains of settlements such as villages become much more common after the invention of agriculture.

5.) A waterway is any navigable body of water. Broad distinctions are useful to avoid ambiguity, and disambiguation will be of varying importance depending on the nuance of the equivalent word in other languages. A first distinction is necessary between maritime shipping routes and waterways used by inland water craft. Maritime shipping routes cross oceans and seas, and some lakes, where navigability is assumed, and no engineering is required, except to provide the draft for deep-sea shipping to approach seaports (channels), or to provide a short cut across an isthmus; this is the function of ship canals. Dredged channels in the sea are not usually described as waterways. There is an exception to this initial distinction, essentially for legal purposes, see under international waters.

Where seaports are located inland, they are approached through a waterway that could be termed "inland" but in practice is generally referred to as a "maritime waterway" (examples Seine Maritime, Loire Maritime, Seeschiffahrtsstraße Elbe). The term "inland waterway" refers to navigable rivers and canals designed to be used by inland waterway craft only, implicitly of much smaller dimensions than seagoing ships.

6.) The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.
