Answer 1

Answer:

The post-Mauryan period saw the rule of the Indo-Greeks, Shakas, Pahlavas and the Kushanas in North India. This tells us that there was no central authority that could keep the country together at the face of foreign invasions.

Answer 2

Answer:

After the decline of the Mauryan Empire, which ruled India from 321 BC to 185 BC, many regional kingdoms under the Mauryas declared independence. Mauryas had an efficient system of government where power was centralized and efficient. After its decline, as always, kingdoms declared independence and kingdoms like the Satavahanas, Kushans, Greeks, etc gained power.

Every time there is a decline of a large, powerful dynasty, local rulers seized opportunity to gain independence. This was the main reason there was no long pan-India kingdom. This was the political condition of India back then.
