Question

Name some important rulers of Mauryan empire ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the 4th century B.C., Nanda kings ruled Magadha dynasty and this dynasty was the most powerful kingdom of the north. A brahaman minister called Chanakya also known as Kautilya, trained a young man, Chandragupta by name of the Mauryan family. Chandragupta organized his own army and overthrew the Nanda king.

Therefore, Chandragupta Maurya is supposed to be the first king and also founder of the Maurya dynasty. His mother’s name was Mur, so he was called Maurya in Sanskrit which means the son of Mur, and thus, his dynasty was called Maurya dynasty.
