How was the provincial administration run under the mauryan empire brainly?
Answers
Explanation:
The governors of the provinces were the chief channels of communication government and its administrative unit. Each province was under-a Governor directly appointed by the King, and was usually a member of the royal family.
Under the Mauryas, Bindusara, Ashoka and Kunala had all served as viceroys in different provinces of the empire. Similarly, under the Sungas the crown prince Agnimitra served as a Governor of Malwa. The Gujarat viceroys under the Chalukyat and the Rashtrakutas were also scions of the royal family.
There are also instances to show when the office of the Governor was offered to the senior and trusted officers of the empire—usually the military generals.
The Governors or Viceroys of the provinces maintained their own courts and ministers, but they had to carry out the policy communicated to them through imperial writs or through special messengers. In view of the very primitive means of communication the Viceroys successfully used discretion in numerous matters.
