What to Focus On
- Epigraphy means the study of inscriptions.
- Numismatics means the study of coins.
- Inscriptions are permanent but selective sources.
- The sixth century BCE is linked to early states and urbanisation.
- Mahajanapadas were major states of early India.
- Ganas or sanghas were oligarchies, not monarchies.
- Magadha became the strongest mahajanapada.
- Agriculture, iron, elephants, and rivers supported its growth.
- Rulers and ministers also helped expand power.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A chief and a king are basically the same because both are rulers.
Gana or sangha states were monarchies ruled by a single king.
Magadha became powerful only because of one ambitious king.
