Question -

In what ways are present-day elections different from the ways in which rulers were chosen in janapadas?



Answer -

Choosing rulers in ‘janapadas’—Men were chosen ‘rajas’ by performing big sacrifices. The ‘Ashvamedha’ (horse sacrifice) was one such ritual which was used to identify a ‘raja’. The ‘raja’ chosen by this sacrifice was considered very powerful. Electing rulers today—Today, we have a democratic system of government. Each citizen has a right to vote and the government is decided by-elections in which each citizen casts his vote.
