Hello friends, welcome to our new channel
The Indian Heroes
First we will talk about Chandragupta Moureya
First ruler of Akhand Bharat
Chandragupta Moureya was born sometime around 340 B.C.
reportedly in Patna
Now in the Bihar State of India
The mother of the enemy has spoken to the wizard of Chandragupta because all the goy goy have loved the enemy, even the warlord and the prince.
When you do this, you will be able to see the fire that burns on your skin.
More than you, Vandh Dekwara to see, they Nanda Sutra Jamna so much chankya chamagangi used to do to Kindergoup till a kind of Angani does, Kindergoup Jamana originalia Nanda जौराया chankya
He helped the young man to raise an army and taught him tactics through different Hindu sutras.
I'm going to be a little bit more careful.
According to Plutarch, at the time of the Battle of Hadespis,
The army of the Nanda Empire numbered 2 lakh infantry, 80,000 cavalry, 8,000 chariots and 6,000 war elephants,
which discouraged Alexander's men and prevented their further advance into India.
Chandragupt's campaign against the Nanda was probably laid out using popular guerrilla tactics.
After the death of Dhananand, the Nanda Empire was conquered by Chandragupt Maurya.
Chandragupt's forces besieged the city of Pataliputra in 320 BC, now called Patna.
His troops gradually tightened a noose around the city until the overwhelmingly superior Nanda army was defeated.
The war brought an end to the Nanda dynasty and established the Maurya Empire with Chandragupt Maurya as its leader.
Chandragupt's new empire at the time of its founding stretched from what is now Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar or Burma in the east
and from Jammu and Kashmir in the north to the Deccan Plateau in the south.
He was the true ruler of Akhand Bharat.
When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, his generals divided up his empire into Satrapis so that each of them would have a territory to rule.
By about 316 BC, Chandragupt Maurya was able to defeat and incorporate all the Satrapis in the mountains of Central Asia,
extending his empire to the edge of what is now Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
In 305 BC, Chandragupt decided to expand his empire into eastern Persia.
At that time, Persia was ruled by Seleucus I Nicator, founder of the Seleucid Empire and a former general under Alexander.
Chandragupt seized a large area in eastern Persia.
In the peace treaty that ended this war, Chandragupt gained control of the land as well as the hand of one of Seleucus' daughters in marriage.
In exchange, Seleucus got 500 war elephants which he put to good use at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC.
Chandragupt eventually expanded his empire to southern India and fought with the Seleucid Empire over control over all of northwestern India and parts of Persia.
With an army of 4 lakhs according to Strabo or 6 lakhs if you believe Pliny the Elder,
Chandragupta conquered all of the Indian subcontinent except Kaling, now Odisha, on the east coast and the Tamil kingdom at the far southern tip of the landmass.
One of Chandragupt's queens was Durdara, the mother of his first son Bindusara.
According to legend, Prime Minister Janakir was worried that Chandragupt might be poisoned by his enemies.
He began introducing small amounts of poison into the emperor's food in order to build up a tolerance.
Chandragupt was unaware of this plan and shared some of his food with his wife Durdara when she was pregnant with their first son.
Durdara died but Janakir rushed in and performed an emergency operation to remove the full-term baby.
The infant Bindusara survived but a little of his mother's poisoned blood touched his forehead, leaving a blue bindu, a spot that inspired his name.
When he was in his 40s, Chandragupt became fascinated with Jainism, an extremely ascetic belief system.
His guru was the Jain saint Bhadrabhau.
In 298 BC, the emperor renounced his rule, handing over power to his son Bindusara.
Chandragupt travelled south to a cave, now located in Karnataka.
There, the founder of the Mauryan Empire meditated without eating or drinking for five weeks until he died of starvation.
This practice is called Salekhana or Santhara in Jainism.
This is how an Indian hero died and his story ended.
Once one has made a decision, one should not go back and revisit it.
Those who keep looking back on their decisions don't make history.
