    Lichhavi alone were not Ashtakulika. Vajji was a confederation of eight ganas among which the Lichchhavis were most prominent. These were called astakulika (eight families) Vajjis, Lichchhavis, Videhas and Jnatrika were important families.

    The Buddhist texts also speak of nine ganas of the Mallas and nine of Kashi.The Mallas of Kusinagara and Pava were the Kshatriyas of the Ikshvaku dynasty.The Sakyas of Kapilavastu, modern Piparahwa in the Siddharthanagar disΒ­trict of Uttar Pradesh on the Nepal border, were also lkshvaku Kshatriyas. Gautama Buddha was born in the Sakya family and Suddhodana was the β€˜King’ of the Sakyas. The Koliyas of Ramagrama were eastern neighbours of the Sakyas. The Moriyas of the Pipphalivana also claimed to be Kshatriya. According to Mahavamsa.

    Chandragupta Maurya belonged to this Kshatriya clan. The Vajjis were the most important republican state during the period of Buddha. Vajji was a confederation of eight ganas among which the Lichchhavis were most prominent. These were called astakulika (eight families) Vajjis, Lichchhavis, Videhas and Jnatrika were important families. Mahavira the twenty-fourth Jaina tirthankara was born during the time of Buddha, the Lichchhavis, under the leadership of Chetaka were the most prominent gana in the Vajji sangha. They are also called Kshatriyas. The Vajjis were defeated and assimilated in the Magadha empire by Ajatasattu.

  35. nagpur 1853 and jhansi 1854 kai books ma ulta be de rkha h. Jhansi 1853 or nagpur 1854. https://adoption.com/wiki/Doctrine_of_Lapse_and_Adoption_(under_India_-_Princely_States). Astulika ka ans muje thoda doubt lag rha h lichavis

    Waise one can guess this answer – asta kulika
    asta means eight
    kul means family
    Astakulika = eight families
    Licchachavi was one of the families – so it is the best possible option πŸ™‚

    Similarly Karkun – kar means tax – associated with revenue πŸ™‚

    Question could have been better – if it was asked – ” Astakulika included”
    as it was confederation of eight ganas in which Lichchhavis were most prominent !!!

    Nagpur was annexed in 1853 and Jhansi in 1854 according to NCERT class 8 , chapter 2, page 19
    One kingdom after another was annexed simply by applying this doctrine: Satara (1848), Sambalpur (1850), Udaipur (1852), Nagpur (1853) and Jhansi (1854)
