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.
