Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The literal meaning of the word Janapada is the land where the Jana set foot and settled down. Around 3000 years ago, some men became rajas of janapadas by performing boastful sacrifices. Archaeologists dug up janapadas like Purana Qila in Delhi, Hastinapur near Meerut, and Atranjikhera near Etah (the last two are in Uttar Pradesh). They found that people lived in huts and kept cattle and other animals. They also grew various crops- rice, wheat, barley, pulses, sugarcane, sesame, and mustard. People in these areas made earthen pots of grey and red colours. The grey-colored pots with painted designs, usually simple lines and geometric patterns, are known as Painted Grey Ware.
