Question

why is the sixth century called aperiod of political struggle​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sixth century B.C. has been regarded as a definite starting point of the political history of ancient India.

From that time, it has been possible to construct a continuous account of India’s political developments.

From the famous Buddhist text, Anguttara Nikaya, a part picture of the political map of India at the time of the rise of Buddhism is available. Jaina sources also present more or less a similar account.
