West Bengal India Here we find a collaboration of history as well as politics which is not rather suitable to the modern context. In Sanskrit dramas we find ‘Rasha’ is the more dominant while in Mudrarakhasa is a heroic play. A play deals with various actions but here we find from one act th to 7 act ‘Bir Rasha’ only is the main flow. The great diplomat Chanakya never participated in any battle or did any blood sheed to intensity ‘Bir Rash’ in this play – Here we find there is no hero or heroine and there is no action of love. Only the wife of Chandan Das appeared for a movement in 7th act and though the wife of Amartya rakhas was abducted and sheltered at the house of Chandan Das, they did not directly utter anything. No Vidushak was there to create any fun like other plays. The presence of Vidushak is not necessary during dramatic excitement. Here one character is interingled with another, like Amartyarakhas is the rival of chanakya. Both of them are great diplomat. Both wants their rival to be perished.

The history writing has also become clear from this period due to accuracy in chronology and sources. Besides plenty of indigenous and foreign literary sources, a number of epigraphical records are also available to write the history of this period. RISE OF MAURYAS The last of the Nanda rulers, Dhana Nanda was highly unpopular due to his oppressive tax regime. Also, post Alexander’s invasion of North-Western India, that region faced a lot of unrest from foreign powers. They were ruled by Indo-Greek rulers. Chandragupta, with the help of an intelligent and politically astute Brahmin, Kautilya usurped the throne by defeating Dhana Nanda in 321 BC. 1 www.winmeen.com | Learning Leads to Ruling Winmeen Tnpsc Group 1 & 2 Self Preparation Course 2018 Chandragupta Maurya (322 – 298 B.C.) Chandragupta Maurya was the first ruler who unified entire country into one political unit, called the Mauryan Empire. He had captured Pataliputra from Dhanananda, who was the last ruler of the Nanda dynasty. He didn’t do achieve this feat alone, he was assisted by Kautilya, who was also known as Vishnugupta or Chanakya. Some scholars think that Chanakya was the real architect of this empire.

    Vol-6 Issue-5 2020 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 THE HISTORICAL VIEW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KOUTILYA AND MOURYA EMPIRE. PROF.PRAHALLADA.G. M.A., M.PHIL. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IDSG GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE CHIKAMAGALUR-577102 ABSTRACT Chanakya dedicated his life to forming the Maurya Empire and guiding its pioneer Chandragupta Maurya and his son, Bindusara. He was the royal advisor, economist and philosopher during their reign. Born in 371 BC, Chanakya has been traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnugupta. Vishnugupta was actually a redactor of Kautilya’s original work, which suggests that Kautilya and Vishnugupta are different people. Chandragupta was an eminent ruler of the Maurya Empire. He successfully conquered most of the Indian subcontinent and is believed to be the first king who unified India. He was well revered and accepted by other kings. The Teacher And The Student Chanakya and Chandragupta shared a relationship based on reverence and trust. Chanakya was not just a teacher to Chandragupta; he was also his prime minister, friend, well-wisher and advisor. Chanakya was the person and power behind Chandragupta's early rise to power. It was Chandragupta Maurya who founded the great Maurya Empire but he couldn't have done it without Chanakya's guidance.

  • 7. India During the Maurya Period
    7. India during the Maurya Period For your information In the 6th century BCE, a king named Cyrus had established a vast empire in Iran. This empire extended from Northwest India to Rome and to Egypt in Africa. Around 518 BCE, an Iranian Emperor named Daryush had conquered the region to the northwest of India up to Punjab. Daryush had recruited some soldiers from this area into his army. We learn about this from the writings of Greek historians. Political relations between India and Iran were established during the reign of Emperor Daryush. This led to greater exchanges in the fields of trade and art. Emperor Daryush had introduced a uniform currency called ‘Darik’ in all parts of his empire. This made trading easier. The capital city of Persepolis was built during his reign. Persepolis is in Iran. Darik The Greek Emperor Alexander’s invasion Alexander, the Greek emperor, invaded India’s northwestern frontier in 326 BCE. Crossing the Indus (Sindhu) river, he reached Takshashila. On the way, he met with forceful opposition from the local Indian kings. He defeated them all and successfully reached the Punjab. However, in this invasion, his army had to suffer severe hardships. The soldiers were eager to go back home. They rebelled against Alexander and he was forced to turn back. He, therefore, appointed Greek officers to administer the conquered territories. They were Emperor Alexander called satraps. He started his return journey but died on the way back In 323 BCE at Babylon. Today, Babylon is in Iraq. Alexander’s campaign led to an increase in the trade between India and the western world.

Appleton and Company 1900 PREFACE It is undoubtedly a surprising fact that down to the present time no history of Sanskrit literature as a whole has been written in English. For not only does that literature possess much intrinsic merit, but the light it sheds on the life and thought of the population of our Indian Empire ought to have a peculiar interest for the British nation. Owing chiefly to the lack of an adequate account of the subject, few, even of the young men who leave these shores every year to be its future rulers, possess any connected information about the literature in which the civilisation of Modern India can be traced to its sources, and without which that civilisation cannot be fully understood.
