Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
During the Rigvedic period, the leader of the tribe(Jana) was called the Rajan. Rajan was not a king in the true sense but a protector of the tribe and the wealth of livestock. There was no real territory or state structure. Since Rajan was the ruler of the people and not the ruler of the territory, he was also called Gopati Janasya. Rajan waged war in the name of his Jana. These wars were for the control of cattle, not for territorial possession. The position of the Rajan was not hereditary, and only the most skilled warriors were chosen from among the people as the Rajan.
