What was the significance of Magadha?
Answers
Answer:
Magadha played an important role in the development of Jainism and Buddhism. It was succeeded by three of northern India's greatest empires, the Nanda Empire (c. 345–322 BCE), Maurya Empire (c. 322–185 BCE) and Gupta Empire (c. 240–550 BCE).
Why was Magadha so important in the history of India?
One good story about magadha empire:
Do you know this guy who tried to conquer the entire world?
Now he did not dare go near magadha empire.
Reason:
When this Alexander from mesapatomia who rarely saw a elephant in his place but stunned to hear elephant army of magadha empire.
What on Earth is this? His tongue should have uttered these words.
This army in magadha was extremely strong making the Alexander run away in fear.
When a person like Alexander feels not to conquer magadha, you can imagine the prosperity and the military power of the region. The kingdom lasted from 1200 BC–322 BC. I would say any kingdom with minimum 500 years of ruling capacity needs a special place in history.
