Question

with reference to Chandragupta Maurya explain conquest of Punjab​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Conquest of Punjab:

After establishing his authority over Punjab, Chandragupta looked towards Punjab. The situation in Punjab was favourable for Chandragupta. By that time, Ambhi of Taxila passed into oblivion. King Porus was assassinated by the Greek general Eudemus who had also fled from India. The decline of Ambhi, murder of Porus and the flight of Eudemus made the task easy for Chandragupta. He conquered Eastern Punjab upto Jhelum.

Then he marched towards the west as far as the river Indus and conquered the land between Jhelum and Indus. This is confirmed by the remark of Pliny that, “Indus skirts the frontier of Prasic (Magadha)”. Thus Chandragupta liberated North Western India, i.e. Sind and Eastern Punjab upto the river Indus from the Greeks.
