  • Ancient Indian Polity and Governance
    • Ancient Indian polity was not monolithic; republics and monarchies co-existed, interacting and influencing each other.
    • Gana-rajyas had complex systems of governance, involving various councils, assemblies, and elected officials.
    • Dharma, or righteous conduct, acted as a significant restraint on power, even in monarchies.
    • Councils and ministerial advice played a crucial role in decision-making, limiting absolute monarchy.
    • Local governance thrived in ancient India, with village councils and town assemblies managing local affairs.
