Government and Law: beggining.

I couldn't find much information in the book 'Life in the Indus River Valley' about government, but I did learn some facts about the Aryans. They lived in tribes called ganas (very near to the Spanish word gammas which means 'class' (as in hierarchy), and also near the Greek letter gamma), which meant 'collection' in their language. A gana was made up of several families. Each gana had its own territory and raja (king). This shows that they lived in tribes, and therefore didn't have one specific ruler (like the old Sheikh system in Qatar). This suggests that they might not have had the same laws, although they would have shared the same concept in their ruling, and- oops. I'm saying too much already. Oh, well. Visit my Wiki for more info, I guess. By the way, if the info isn't there yet it means I don't have much time to write, I'm not that lazy, you know! :P
