Question

Who are Janapadas? and who are Jana? And what is the difference between the kings and janas

Answer 1

Hi friend...

jana means people... it was there during the early vedic period... janapada means Jana means "people" or "subject" (cf. Latin cognate genus, English cognate kin). ... Latin cognate pedis); from its earliest attestation, the word has had a double meaningof "realm, territory" and "subject population".....janas are the head of the trials where as king is the head of entire kingdom...

hope it helps you
