Ancient India
3000BC-1736AD
Government In the beginning of the Vedic age people
did not have a settled life and were nomads but with
development in agriculture people started to settle down in
groups. The organization was mainly tribal and the head of
the tribe was supposed to be the raja or the King, though
the concept of King had yet not developed. With the passage
of time large kingdoms started to grow and by the 6th
century BC there were 16 Mahajanapadas (Kingdoms).
