A State is a set of institutions that possess the authority to make the rules that govern the people in one or more societies, having internal and external sovereignty over a definite territory. Also a state is geographically delimited segment of human society bound by a common obedience to a single sovereign. There are no historical records to tell us how and when men originally come to live under the state conditions or a political system. . In India many ancient works like Satapata, Brahman, Manusmriti and Mahabharata have dealt with problem of origin of the state.. The puranic literature says that varnas played a great role in the origin of the state. When the means of subsistence has been provided, people were divided into four varnas. Therefore, Brahma created the king who was also vested with danda, the rod of royal authority to punish the wicked and wrong. Therefore, in the Puranic view the state came into existence to check the mutual struggles among different varanas. Narda (Narad smirti) and Brihaspati (Brihaspati smirti) says that when the golden age was destroyed, the law of jungle prevailed in society, and people began to feel insecurity and insafety about their property, family and Varnadharma. As a result' Vyavahara', the state authority came into existence to safeguard property and maintain law and order in society.
