the age of mahajanapadas coincides with the coming of the which age?
Answers
Mahajanapadas literally refers to the "great empire" (Maha, "great" and "from the feet of a tribe", "country" of the district) 16 monarchy and 'republic' which spread from the modern Afghanistan to Bangladesh through the Indo-Gangetic plains. In the sixth century BC, before and during the rise of Buddhism in India.
It appears that the political structure of ancient Indians started with semi-monk tribal units called mass (i.e. topics). In the early Vedic texts, it is a matter of many people or tribes of the Aryans, who are organized as semi-monks tribal states, with themselves and other non-Aryan tribes fighting for cattle, sheep and green pastures. These early Vedic masses later included in the epic ages.
The word "district" literally means the basis of a tribe. The fact is that the district is derived from Jana, it states that the people take the land in a systematic way of life by the tribe. This process of settlement on land had completed its last phase before the time of Buddha and Panini. East-Buddhist North-West region of the Indian subcontinent was divided into several other districts, which were different from the boundaries. In Panini grammar, the district stands for country and its people for its citizens. Each district was named after the name of the Kshatriya tribe (or Kshatriya Jan), who settled there
Tribal identity was more important in defining the area of the district than the geographical location, and the minority of the population made distinct border lines unimportant. Often rivers were a matter between northern and southern Panchla and western (state of Pandava) and eastern (Kuru state) Kuru, as the boundaries of two neighboring empires were made. Occasionally, large forests, which were bigger than empires themselves, created borders such as forests between Panchla and Kosala kingdoms. Mountains like the Himalayas, Vindhya and Sahyahta also make borders.
