Some janapadas gained control over large areas and became mahajanapadas
Meghna Thapar 4 years, 11 months ago

The Janapadas were the major kingdoms of Vedic India. With the development of iron in parts of UP and Bihar, the Janapadas became more powerful and turned into Mahajanapadas.

The changes that occurred due to the Green Revolution in India are as follows
(i) The use of advanced technology in agriculture implying use of High Yield Variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers and pesticides and a well developed system of irrigation led to a substantial increase in the production of food grains, mainly wheat and rice.
(ii) It resulted in higher income growth. Even poor farmers who practised modern farming with advanced technology started becoming rich.
(iii) It led to commercialisation of agriculture as farmers started cultivating flowers, cotton, tobacco etc.

Economic factors such as subsidies, commodity prices, labour and immigration laws, cost of land, transport, capital and markets, etc. affect farming. Climatic factors such as light, water and rainfall, temperature, air, relative humidity and wind also affect farming. The introduction of technical changes through improved seed, fertilizer, irrigation, mechanization, and plant protection have brought dramatic changes in agricultural production since the 1950s. Global demand and consumption of agricultural crops for food, feed, and fuel is increasing at a rapid pace. ... This dramatic yield improvement is due to the development and widespread use of new farming technologies such as hybrid corn, synthetic fertilizers, and farm machinery.

- The term Janapada is a compound made out of 'Jana' which means tribe and 'pada' which means foot. Its exacting importance, hence, is domain and subject populace.
- Early Vedic writings uncover around a few Janas or tribes of the Aryans living in semi-traveling tribal state.
- In proper method of time, these early Indian Iron Age Rigveda Janas mixed into geologically settled Janapadas.
- They were administered by rulers or rajas each having their own particular armed force and capital.
Meghna Thapar 4 years, 11 months ago
The Janapadas were the realms, republics (ganapada) and kingdoms (saamarajya) of the Vedic period on the Indian subcontinent. The Vedic period reaches from the late Bronze Age into the Iron Age: from about 1500 BCE to the 6th century BCE. With the rise of sixteen Mahajanapadas ("great janapadas"), most of the states were annexed by more powerful neighbours, although some remained independent. The Sanskrit term janapada is a tatpurusha compound term, composed of two words: janas and pada. Jana means "people" or "subject" (cf. Latin cognate genus, English cognate kin). The word pada means "foot" (cf. Latin cognate pedis) from its earliest attestation, the word has had a double meaning of "realm, territory" and "subject population" (cf. Hittite pedan, "place"). Linguist George Dunkel compares the Greek andrapodon "slave", to PIE *pédom "fetters" (i.e. "what is attached to the feet"). Sanskrit padám, usually taken to mean "footprint, trail", diverges in accent from the PIE reconstruction. For the sense of "population of the land", padasya janas, the inverted padajana would be expected. A primary meaning of "place of the people", janasya padam, would not explain why the compound is of masculine gender. An original dvandva "land and people" is conceivable, but a dual inflection would be expected.

The Sakas were a group of Iranic peoples who spoke a language belonging to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages. French historian René Grousset wrote that they formed a particular branch of the "Scytho-Sarmatian family" originating from nomadic Iranian peoples of the northwestern steppe in Eurasia. The first Saka king in South Asia was Maues/Moga (1st century BC) who established Saka power in Gandhara, and Indus Valley. The Indo-Scythians extended their supremacy over north-western India, conquering the Indo-Greeks and other local kingdoms.

Maps represent the real world on a much smaller scale. They help you travel from one location to another. They help you organize information. A street map will show you roads, their names, and various locations along those roads.
Importance of Maps
- To understand roads and subways at new places.
- To calculate distance between two places.
- To know whether there are two or more paths to the same place and which is the shortest.
- We can get information about mountains, rivers, valleys or any other thing, which may come on the way, and we can prepare for that.

As a society, we have always have flourished when we lived together in communities. A country is nothing but one giant community, and like every community, it must be governed. Let us study about the main purpose and functions of the government. We will also see the three forms of government, democracy, autocracy and oligarchy.
The American form of government is <a data-rokbox="" data-rokbox-caption="Glossary Term" data-rokbox-size="410 160" href="https://dlc.dcccd.edu/html5/glossary.php?course=usgov&termID=37" title="Glossary Term">democracy</a>. Although democracy is the most prevalent form of government in recent decades, it has no shortage of competitors. Among them:
- Monarchy - Rule of one. Traditionally a king or emperor, but in modern times this usually describes a dictator.
- Oligarchy - Rule of the few. Traditionally, this described a group of aristocrats, men of noble blood, but it just as easily describes a group of warlords or a military junta.
- Theocracy - Technically, rule by God. In practice, since God rarely shows up to manage the day-to-day affairs of government, this involves rule by a religious leader or group of religious officials who interpret God's will. The country of Iran has many aspects of a theocratic state.
- Authoritarianism - Monopoly of political power by an individual or small group that otherwise allows people to go about their private lives as they wish.
- Totalitarianism - Rule by an elite that exercises unlimited power over individuals in all aspects of life.
