Correct Answer - Option 2 : Goods, crops, herders, hunter gatherers and crafts persons
The correct answer is Option 2.
  • As they were building huge forts and maintaining big armies, they needed more resources.
  • Instead of depending on occasional gifts brought by people, as in the case of the raja of the janapadas, they started collecting regular taxes.
  • Taxes on crops were the most important. This was because most people were farmers.
  • There were taxes on craftspersons as well.
  • Herders were also expected to pay taxes in the form of animals and animal produce. There were also taxes on goods that were bought and sold, through trade.
  • And hunters and gatherers also had to provide forest produce to the raja.
