Welcome to PAATH History…
According to the traditional literature, sixteen large states (mahājanapadas), each comprising several agricultural settlements (janapadas), existed in India in 6th century BCE. Buddhist text ‘Anguttara Nikāya’ gives us a list. Other ancient texts also tell us about these towns. All these small states had their own political structures. We have discussed all these features in this video.
