Chandragupta Maurya: Founder of the Mauryan Empire
CHANDRAGUPTA MAURYA
FOUNDER OF THE MAURYAN EMPIRE
Step into the remarkable story of Chandragupta Maurya, the visionary leader who rose from humble beginnings to establish the first great empire of India. Living in the 4th century BCE, Chandragupta, with the guidance of his mentor Chanakya, defeated powerful rulers and unified much of the Indian subcontinent under the Mauryan Empire. His reign marked the beginning of a new era in Indian history, where strategy, governance, and vision created one of the most enduring legacies of the ancient world.
From overthrowing the Nanda dynasty to resisting the might of Alexander the Great's successors, Chandragupta proved himself as a bold and determined ruler.
