How did men become rulers in the

How Rajas
were chosen
around 3000
years ago.
By performing
very big Sacrifices.
The ashvamedha
or horse sacrifice
was one such ritual.
The Ashvamedha
 It was used by the ancient
Indian rulers to prove their
sovereignty.
 A horse was let loose to
wander freely.
 It was guarded by the raja’s
men.
 If the horse wandered into
the kingdoms of other rajas
and stopped by them….
 They had to fight.
 If they allowed, they
accepted that the raja who
wanted to perform the
sacrifice was powerful than
them
 The raja who organised the
sacrifice was recognised as
very powerful.
The Raja and Priest
The Raja
Central figure in the rituals.
 Had a throne or a tiger skin.
 Had a charioteer, who was his companion in the battle
field and witnessed his exploits, chanted tales of his
glory.
 His wives and sons had to perform a variety of minor
rituals.
 Priests perform the rituals.
Varna System
o There were several different groups in society at that
time.
o Example- priests, warriors, farmers, traders….
o The priests divided people into four groups called
varnas. Those four groups were
o The Brahmin
o The rulers or Kshatriyas
o The Vaishyas
o The Shudras
o Each varna had a different set of functions.

1 The Brahmin Study the
Vedas, perform
sacrifices
2 The
Kshatriyas
To fight battles
and protect
people
3 The Vaishyas To be
farmers,herders
and traders.
4 The Shudras To serve the
other three
groups.

• This system was based on the basis of birth.
• Women were not allowed to study the Vedas.
• Classified some people as untouchable.
• These included craft persons, hunters and
gatherers and people who perform burials and
cremations.
The Varna System-opposition
• Many people did not accept the system
of Varna.
• They felt that birth could not be a basis
for deciding Varna.
• Some kings thought that they were
superior to the priests.
• Some people felt that there should be
no differences based on occupation.
• Some people condemned the practice
of untouchability.
Janapadas
The word Janapada
is a combination of
two words-
Jana means people
Pada means foot
Means the land
where the people set
their foot.
The Rajas who
performed big
sacrifices were now
recognised as rajas of
janapadas.
