Who were the Last Mauryans¿ ¦ Part-1

Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIOunrT0ikE&t=99s

The history of the Mauryan Empire after the death of Ashoka is shrouded in mystery. This was the period of the decline of the Mauryan Empire. In this video, I try to construct the history of the Mauryan Empire based on the limited sources we have. This is the first part of the video, where we talk about the Mauryan King who came to the throne after the death of Ashoka. The Mauryan Empire as we will see in the video was partitioned after the death of Ashoka. The Western half of the Empire came under the rule of Kunala and the western half came under the control of Dashratha.
My main source for this video was Romila Thapar's "Aśoka and the decline of the Mauryas". The theory of the division of the Mauryan Empire is provided in this book. Apart from this, I have also used K. A Nilakanta Sastri's Age of the Nandas and Mauryas.
