Mahajanapadas
Mahajanapadas
Mahajanapadas: About 2500 years ago, some Janapadas became more important than others, and were known as mahajanapadas. A mahajanapadas was usually ruled from its capital city.There was intense rivalry among the Mahajanapads,resulting in frequent wars. Huge walls made of mud, stone, wood or bricks were used to fortify these capital cities. Most mahajanapadas had a capital city, many of these were fortified. This means that huge walls of wood, brick or store were built around them.
Forts were probably built because people were afraid of attacks from other kings and needed protection. It is also likely that some rulers wanted to show how rich and powerful they were by building really large, tall and impressive walls around their cities. Also in this way, the land and the people living inside the fortified area could be controlled more easily by the king.
The new rajas now began maintaining armies; soldiers were paid regular salaries and maintained by the king throughout the year. Some payments were probably made using punch marked coins
According to the Buddhist texts Anguttara Nikaya and Digha Nikaya, by around 600 BC, there 16 mahajanapadas. Of these, Magadh emerged the most powerful of all. The other powerful mahajanapadas were Avanti. Vatsa and Kosala.
