Question

Why did magadha turn into a powerful kingdom around 600 BC

Answer 1

!!Hey mate here is your answer!!

By about 600 B.C., a part of the Ganga plain had been cleared of forests and people had settled down in different tracts - Panchala, Surasena, Kosala, Kashi, Vidheha, Magadha, and so on.

Bimbisara ruled Magadha well. He was helped by a council of advisers. He permitted the headmen of the villages to speak to him directly because he wished to know what his people wanted. If any of his officers did not work well, he punished him. He built roads to connect the various towns and villages, and bridges over the rivers. He travelled throughout his kingdom to see things for himself.

He wanted to maintain friendly relations with other kingdoms, and sent his ambassadors to places even as far away as the kingdom of Gandhara in the Northwest of India. His capital was at Rajagriha near Patna. It was a beautiful city surrounded by hills. One can still see parts of it which have been excavated by archaeologists.

Magadha was an ancient Indian kingdom in southern Bihar, and was counted as one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas (Sanskrit: "Great Countries") of ancient India. Magadha played an important role in the development ofJainism and Buddhism, and two of India's greatest empires, the Maurya Empire andGupta Empire, originated in Magadha.

The existence of Magadha is recorded in Vedic texts much earlier in time than 600 BCE. The earliest reference to the Magadha people occurs in the Atharvaveda, where they are found listed along with the Angas, Gandharisand Mujavats. The core of the kingdom was the area of Bihar south of the Ganges; its first capital was Rajagriha (modern Rajgir), thenPataliputra (modern Patna). Rajagriha was initially known as 'Girivrijja' and later came to be known as so during the reign ofAjatashatru. Magadha expanded to include most of Bihar and Bengal with the conquest of Vajji confederation and Anga, respectively.[1] The kingdom of Magadha eventually came encompass Bihar,Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and the areas that are today the nations of Bangladesh and Nepal.[2]

The ancient kingdom of Magadha is heavily mentioned in Jain and Buddhist texts. It is also mentioned in the Ramayana, theMahabharata and the Puranas. The Mauryan Empire and Gupta Empire, both of which originated in Magadha, saw advancements in ancient India's science, mathematics,astronomy, religion, and philosophy and were considered the Golden Age of India. The Magadha kingdom included republican communities such as the community of Rajakumara.[citation needed] Villages had their own assemblies under their local chiefs called Gramakas. Their administrations were divided into executive, judicial, and military functions.
