À propos de ce contenu audio

Before the Mauryas, Magadha was ruled by the Nanda dynasty — a kingdom of immense wealth and a massive army. But in 321 BCE, a young adventurer named Chandragupta Maurya, guided by the Brahmin strategist Chanakya, challenged their power. This episode dives into the forgotten campaigns, the betrayal of a Nanda general, and the siege of Pataliputra that toppled an empire. How did a man with nothing conquer the richest kingdom in India? We explore the Arthashastra's tactics, the role of Greek satraps, and the controversial 'Mudrarakshasa' play that may blur history and legend. Discover the ruthlessness and cunning behind India's first imperial dynasty.
