Option 2 : A, B and D only

The correct answer is A, B and D only.

The oldest Veda is the Rigveda, composed about 3500 years ago.
The Rigveda includes more than a thousand hymns which were composed by men. However, a few hymns were composed by women.
Most men took part in the wars which were fought to capture cattle, for land, for water and to capture people.
There was no regular army, but there were assemblies where people met and discussed matters of war and peace.
There are two groups of people who are described in terms of their work:
- Priests (sometimes called brahmins) - They performed various rituals and sacrifices.
- Rajas - They did not have capital cities, palaces or armies, nor did they collect taxes. They mainly lead the people in the battles.
Sometimes, the people who composed the hymns described themselves as Aryas and called their opponents Dasas or Dasyus.
Dasas or Dasyus were people who did not perform sacrifices, and probably spoke different languages.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true about the Rigvedic society:

A. There was no regular army.

B. Some of the hyms were composed by women.

D. The Rajas did not have capital cities or palaces.
