Jana means people and not Tribes.

User:Abhijna

• Abhijna, term Jana is taken to mean tribe by all scholars. For example refer to India as Known to Panini by Dr V. S. Aggarwala or Evolution of Heroic Traditions in Ancient Punjab by Dr Buddha Parkash etc.

[edit] Any doubt about the statements of this article?

Of course, the references for each and every statement made in this article can be cited. Which section of the article do you want the references quoted sir?

But why this question and tag especially for this article? Do all other articles on Indian Civilization and History in particulrar, or other articles in Wikipedia in general, cite the references to substantiate the material they present to the readers?

Not that we dont want to furnish the references here, but just am curious to know from the person who added the reference-tag for this article here as to why he doubts the contents of this article and want it substantiated through references?.

Response will be appreciated.

Regards

Every Article should cite its references. If you see an article that doesnt cite references feel free to add the tag --Qweniden 04:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page move?

I just can't see a reason this shouldn't be singular as Mahajanapada. That's what the naming conventions call for unless something is overwhelmingly referred to in the plural. - Taxman ^Talk 02:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buddhist-oriented

Why is EVERYTHING to do with the epoch of Hindu kingdoms oriented around Buddha and Buddhism? This is silly. These places should be spoken of in their own terms. --69.203.80.158 06:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Mahajanapahas"

Is it true,that "Manhattan" was purchased from the "Indians" at a very cheap price by a crooked "American" bussiness man back then? Also,the name,"Manhattan" looks so much like "Mahajanapahas"? Please send me an answer to - daorigino @www.yahoomail.com Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.16.100.222 (talk) 21:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
