What do you understand by the term Segmentary State? Explain. 

The term "Segmentary State" refers to a particular form of political organization or social structure in which power is decentralized and divided among various segments or groups within a society. It is a concept that was originally introduced by the anthropologist E.E. Evans-Pritchard to describe certain African societies, particularly those in East Africa.

In a segmentary state, power is not concentrated in a centralized authority or institution, such as a monarch or a centralized bureaucracy. Instead, authority and power are distributed among smaller social units or segments, often based on kinship or lineage. These segments can range from small local communities to larger clans or tribes.

One of the key characteristics of a segmentary state is the presence of a system of kinship ties and obligations that form the basis of social organization. Kinship ties play a crucial role in defining the social structure and determining the allocation of power and resources within the society. The segments or groups are typically organized in a hierarchical manner, with each level of the hierarchy being responsible for the administration and defense of its own members.
