The Vedic Age, traditionally divided into the Early Vedic (c. 1500-1000 BCE) and Later Vedic periods (c. 1000-600 BCE), saw significant cultural and societal evolution in ancient India. The Early Vedic period was characterized by a nomadic lifestyle, with a focus on pastoralism and the composition of the Rigveda, while the Later Vedic Age marked a transition to settled agriculture, urbanization, and the composition of the Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. Additionally, during the Later Vedic period, societal structures became more complex, leading to the emergence of the varna system and increased ritualism in religious practices. This evolution laid the groundwork for many aspects of later Indian civilization.

Other texts, such as the Upanishads and various Brahmanas, also survived, but many works from that era have been lost or fragmented over time. Thus, while some important texts endure, the majority of literature from the Vedic Age has not survived.
What was the tax which the kings used to collect from the people in the vedic period called?
In the Vedic period (2000 to 1500 BC), initially the king's power was not well established and taxation seems to have been occasional and voluntary. The term bali, originally used to devote voluntary offerings made to gods for securing their favour, came to be applied later to the presents and taxes offered to the king, more or less voluntarily. In the later Vedic period, the nature of taxation changed and the king was described as the 'eater of his subjects', and this phrase might have had its origin in a custom by which the king and his retinue were fed by the people's contributions.
