- ‘Gana’ means the ruling class comprising members of equal social status.
- Similarly, ‘sangha’ means a state formed by many kulas or janapadas by coming together.
- By the 6th century B.C.E. many sangharajyas had come into existence.
- There were three main types of the ancient federation of states in India:
- Ganarajya of the members of the same kula. For example, Malava and Shibi.
- Ganarajya was created by more than one kulas coming together. For example, Vajji Ganasangha. It included eight kulas. Vajji, Lichchhavi, Dnyatruk, and Videha were the important ganas among them.
- More than one ganrajyas coming together to create a sangharajya. For example, Yaudheya- Kshudrak Sangh.
