Republics are states which are directly or indirectly ruled by a head who is elected by the population. Republics governed by more than one member can be called Republics. All the members sat in Sabha and all were passed in the house by vote. A place called the Sanctum was where the meeting was held.
Describe the social life of the Republics?
Archaeologists believe that people of this period lived in simple houses associated with pastoral activities. At this time wheat, rice, barley, sugar cane, and mustard cells were grown. Some of the pottery found at this time had drawings on it and the utensils were grey in color. Several strong forts were built around the state capital to defend it, and the people were taxed to pay for them. Farmers used to give the Treasury a sixth portion of their yield. Artisans used to work for the state for one day a month, and cattle rearers gave cattle as tax.
