Question

Explain how charagupta 2 expanded his empire

Answer 1

According to a legend,Chandragupta Maurya was dismissed by the Nandas who ruled before him.He met Kautilya at Takshila . Kautilya,who later became famous as Chanakya,was the son of a Brahmin.Kautilya too was wronged by the Nandas.He therefore joined hands with Chandragupta to destroy the Nanda dynasty.After a long series of battles with Chandragupta,the Nanda capital at Pataliputra fell . This led to the emergence of a new dynasty - the Mauryan dynasty with Chandragupta Maurya as the emperor.
