Explanation:
In the history of India the Mauryan Dynasty is the first historical dynasty, about which some definite historical material is available. Chandragupta Maurya founded this dynasty with the help of his minister Chanakya
It is said that while Chandragupta was still in the Punjab he met Alexander at Taxila and induced him to invade Magadha. But the boldness of his speech offended Alexander and he had to run for safety.
It was during this exile that Chandragupta was joined by Chanakya. After the return and death of Alexander there was a general revolt against the Greek rule. In the words of Justine, “India, after Alexander’s death, as ‘if the yoke servitude had been shaken off its neck, had put his prefects to death. Sandrocottus was the leader who achieved its freedom.” Thus Chandragupta made the best use of this opportunity and occupied the province of Punjab and Sindh in about 322 B.C.
