Q. By whom, the first republic of the world was established in Vaishali?
(a) Maurya
(b) Nand
(c) Licchhavi
(d) Gupta
Ans: (c) Licchhavi
Explanation: The correct answer is (c) Licchhavi.
The first republic of the world was established in Vaishali by the Licchhavi clan. Vaishali, located in present-day Bihar, India, was a significant center of political and social activity during ancient times. The Licchhavis were a prominent clan in the region and played a crucial role in establishing and governing the republican state of Vaishali. Their republic is often regarded as one of the earliest examples of a republican form of government in the world. The Maurya, Nanda, and Gupta dynasties were subsequent ruling powers in India and not associated with the establishment of the first republic in Vaishali.
