प्रश्न
In what ways are present-day elections different from the ways in which rulers were chosen in ‘janapadas’?
उत्तर
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.
