This shows that the principle of appropriation was not unknown at that early date. But from all that we know of the results of the Aryan invasion, the chief agent in producing varied forms of land-tenure must have been the introduction of a number of separate centralised governments, with the opportunities that they afforded for the growth of over-lordships, whether ex- tending to considerable estates or to single villages. The humbler Aryans no doubt settled down to village life either in inde...pendent democratic communities or under village or other local lords ; but, as tradition and history are more con- cerned with the deeds of the military and ruling classes, the prominent subjects of attention are the founding of royal capitals and the establishment of monarchies. These are varied with many incidents of local adventures, of estates gained by grant, or by what were in fact mere marauding expeditions. Every- where we hear of little groups of Kajputs, under efficient leaders, seizing on and extending territorial possessions.
