Mauryan Dynasty :-

The founder of the Mauryan Dynasty was Chandragupta Maurya. Chandragupta Maurya founded this dynasty in 321 BC. It was founded shortly after Alexander's victorious campaigns in North-Western India during 327 BC to 325 BC. Mauryan dynasty supplanted the earlier Magadha Empire to assume power over large tracts of Eastern and Northern India. At its height, the Mauryan empire stretched over parts of modern Iran and almost the entire Indian Subcontinent, barring only the Southern peninsular tip. The empire came into being when Chandragupta Maurya stepped into vacuum created by Alexander's departure from the Western Borders of India. Chandragupta subjugated the border states, recruited an army, marched upon the Magadha kingdom, killed its tyrannical king and ascended the throne. He thus founded the Mauryan dynasty. In his rise to power, he was aided and counselled by his Chief Minister Kautilya (also known as Chanakya), who wrote the Arthashastra, a compendium of kingship and governance.
