In the present-day elections in India, we have adopted the idea of universal adult franchise, where every person above the age 18 years has a right to vote. Voting is based on the principal of one man one vote.

The rulers who performed the ashvamedha sacrifice were recognised as being the rulers of janapadas.

hi,,

Today, all adultsabove the age of 18have their right to vote their own representatives in the goverment. Representatives are elected on the basis of how they will work for the welfare of the people.

In Janapadas, the rulers were chosen by performing big sacrifices like Ashvamedha (horse sacrifice). Shudras were not allowed to attend these rituals. The rulers were selected on the basis of their strength.

I hope that this is the answer to your question....
