Question

What role did a rajpurohita play in the dater vedic period?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

During the later-Vedic age the position of the women had considerably declined. They did not enjoy the same position of respect

Answer 2

Political Organisation during Later Vedic Period:

The kingdom in the later Vedic period became much larger than in the early Vedic period. Ashvamedha (horse sacrifices) were performed and the ideal of setting up empires gained popularity with the kings. It may be noted that no real conquest was really made and tribes like Kuru, Panchalas, Kosalas and Videhas were never amalgamated into a single tribe.

1. Kingship:

Monarchy continued to be the prevailing system of government in the later Vedic period. The post of the king became hereditary. In the case of Srinjayas we hear that the monarchy lasted for 10 generations. In the later Vedic texts a number of theories regarding the origin of State and kingship have been offered.
