What do you mean by Gana? How were they different from the kingdoms ruled by the kings? |
|
Answer» The term ‘gana’ means people of equal status. Sangha means ‘assembly’. Gana Sangha means an assembly of equal status people. They cover a small area that was ruled by a superior group among them. These gana sanghas practiced “all are equal” traditions. A kingdom means a territory and was ruled by a king or queen. In a kingdom, a family which rules for a long, period becomes a dynasty. |
