What do you think is the reason for the Emperors ruling the region around Pataliputra, the provinces and the forests differently? Could they have made common rules or laws for all the three regions?
Answers
In 326 B.C. Alexander the Great, continuing his conquest of the Persian
Empire (see ch. 2), brought his phalanxes into the easternmost Persian satrapy
in the Indus valley, defeating local Punjab rulers. When his weary troops
refused to advance further eastward into the Ganges plain, Alexander
constructed a fleet and explored the Indus to its mouth. From there he
returned overland to Babylon, while his fleet skirted the coast of the Arabian
Sea and reached the Persian Gulf.
After Alexander's death in 323 B.C., the empire he had built so rapidly
quickly disintegrated, and by 321 B.C. his domain in the Punjab had completely
disappeared. But he had opened routes between India and the West that would
remain open during the following Hellenistic and Roman periods, and by
destroying the petty states in the Punjab he facilitated - and perhaps
inspired - the conquests of India's own first emperor.
