Map depicting the largest extent of the Mauryan Empire in dark blue, and allied or friendly areas in light blue
In 321 BCE, exiled general
Chandragupta Maurya
, under direct patronage of the genius of
Chanakya
, founded the Maurya dynasty after overthrowing the reigning king
Dhana Nanda
. Most of the subcontinent was united under a single government for the first time under the Maurya rule. Mauryan empire under Chandragupta would not only conquer most of the Indian subcontinent, but also push its boundaries into Persia and
Central Asia
, conquering the Gandhara region. Chandragupta Maurya is credited for the spread of Jainism in southern Indian region.
Chandragupta was succeeded by his son
Bindusara
, who expanded the kingdom over most of present day India, barring
Kalinga
, and the extreme south and east, which may have held tributary status.
Bindusara's kingdom was inherited by his son
Ashoka the Great
who initially sought to expand his kingdom. In the aftermath of the carnage caused in the invasion of
Kalinga
, he renounced bloodshed and pursued a policy of
non-violence
or ahimsa after converting to Buddhism. The
Edicts of Ashoka
are the oldest preserved historical documents of India, and from Ashoka's time, approximate dating of dynasties becomes possible. The Mauryan dynasty under
Ashoka
was responsible for the proliferation of
Buddhist ideals
across the whole of
East Asia
and South-East Asia, fundamentally altering the history and development of Asia as a whole. Ashoka's grandson
Samprati
adopted Jainism and helped spread
Jainism
.
Coin of the Roman emperor
Augustus
found at the
Pudukottai
hoard. [[British Museum]].
