Question

Highlight the changes that were introduced in the Vedic Economy and Society as it moved from Rig Vedic to the Later Vedic period.

Answer 1

Answer:

Extensive changes came in the religious life of the society of the later Vedic ages. Now, religion came to be entangled in a mesh of rites and rituals. The Brahmins were integral and indispensable. Decline in worship of nature led to emergence of a host of new gods and goddesses.

The Political system of the later Vedic period was shifted towards Monarchy. Now, the King ruled over an area of land called Janapada. The King started maintaining an army and the Bureaucracy also got developed.
