History Mauryan Dynasty (321 Bc-185 BC):-

The dynasty that Chandragupta and Chanakya

established in Magadha together, was the first real dynasty

of Indian history. There is no certain theory about the

lineage of Mauryas. One of the most prominent theory was

that he was actually the son of Dhanananda mistress called

Mura, and hence the name Maurya.

History Ashoka The Great :-

Ashoka Piyadassi Maurya (269-232 BC) was perhaps

Buddhism’s most famous convert. He has caught the

imagination of many as the cruel king who suddenly, after

one battle, saw the light and became an avowed non-

violent though he did put all his brothers to death to come

to the throne, but then that was no different from what any

other aspiring king would have done, and no doubt any of

his brothers in similar circumstances would have done the

same.

Other Dynasties:- The Most Powerful Cholas

The most important dynasty to rise out of the southern

India was Cholas. Unlike other dynasties (the Chalukyas,

the Pallavas, the Pandvas or the Rashtrakutas), their

origins are not traced from outside, but very much from the

south itself. The Deccan region was at this time in much

turmoil. The Cholas had managed almost immediately to

reduce the Pallavas to the status of minor feudatories.

History Other Dynasties:-

Ascent of Rajput Power

The timed the fading away of Harsha Vardhana (606-646

AD) and with it the Vardhana might and the rise of Islamic

power in India was occupied with the ascent of Rajput

power. This, however, wap a very short-lived period, mainly

due to the in-fighting among the fiercely divided Rajputs. As

can be imagined, India under the Rajputs was not exactly

what one could call a single and completely unified unit.
