Rig Vedic Pancha-Jana Identification
The Rig Vedic period refers to a significant era in ancient Indian history, primarily documented in the Rigveda. A key concept from this time is the 'pancha-jana', often translated as the 'five peoples' or 'five tribes'. These were prominent groups among the Vedic Aryans.
The Five Vedic Tribes
The Rigveda frequently mentions the 'pancha-jana'. The five tribes generally accepted as constituting the 'pancha-jana' are:
- Yadu
- Turvashu
- Puru
- Anu
- Druhyu
Identifying the Outlier
The question asks to identify which group among the options was NOT part of these famous five tribes. Let's compare the given options with the established list:
- Yadu: Included in the pancha-jana.
- Turvashu: Included in the pancha-jana.
- Kanva: This name typically refers to a sage or a priestly lineage (descendants of sage Kanva), not one of the five major tribes mentioned collectively as 'pancha-jana'.
- Puru: Included in the pancha-jana.
Therefore, Kanva is the group not included among the famous 'five peoples' (pancha-jana) of the Rig Vedic period.
