 It depends on what you understand by "kingship". It a tribal chief with
a few hundred "subjects" a king? Was the tyrant of an ancient Greek
city-state a king? We often call them "kings" for convenience, simply
because there is no universally recognised definition of monarchy.

YOu are certainly not straight forward in your reply. It is you who talked about institution of kingship. I could not understand your sentence (your english) and hence the query. 
 
Finally, did you mean that the ancient Aryans knew about kingship or not?
