Question

The group which figures prominently in the context of Cattle Raids in the Rig Veda was that of the

A Mlechchhas
B Dasas and Dasyus
C Panis
D Nishadas

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [C]

In the Rig Veda, the Panis are described as a group associated with cattle raids. They are depicted as adversaries or enemies who steal the cattle belonging to the Vedic people. The Rig Vedic hymns often mention conflicts and battles between the Vedic people and the Panis over the possession of the cattle.

The Panis are portrayed as a non-Vedic group with negative connotations in the Rig Veda. They are sometimes described as hoarders or thieves who hide the stolen cattle and withhold them from the Vedic people. The hymns often highlight the heroic efforts made by the Vedic gods or warriors to recover the stolen cattle from the Panis.

Therefore, option C, Panis, is the correct group that figures prominently in the context of Cattle Raids in the Rig Veda.
