1.	Throw light on the Rajan of the Vedic period and his duties.
Answer» The Rajan was state’s highest authority. Generally, after the death of a ‘Rajan’, his son was nominated as the ‘Rajan’, i.e. his post was hereditary. But, sometimes, the Rajan was elected by the people. Total powers of the state were centralized in Rajan. He appointed the employees and officers of the state, promoted, demoted and dismissed them at his free will. A Rajan’s decision was considered final. But he was not autocratic, rather he formulated the policies for the state after consultation with his cabinet.
