Buddhist texts mention republics of different races. Notable among them are the Licchavis of Vaishali, the
Shakyas of Kapilvastu, the Mallos of Pava and Kushinagar, the Morias of Piplivan, the Muggs of Giri of Sumsumar and the Vidhes of Mithila.
The Shakyas of Kapilavastu have given the Buddha-like glory to the world.
According to Dr. Radhakumud Mukherjee, the Kapilvastu Republic had a population of $80,000$ families or five lakhs.
The system of the Kapil thing was democracy.
His organization had $500$ members.
The president of "Santhagar" was called Raja.
Any law passed after three readings.
Important questions were voted on by "Shalaka".
If necessary, those questions were assigned to a small committee to discuss.
Kapil was very proud of his sophistication and high caste of the Shakyas of Vastu.
It is known from some Buddhist legends that the concepts of equality prevailed in the Shakyas.
