The founder of the Mauryan Empire in India. Born 340 BC, ruled 320 BC–293 BC.
Chandragupta Mauryan established the Mauryan Empire in 322 B.C. Alexander the great had conquered mush of India only a few decades before; Chandragupta expanded his realm by seizing these northwestern territories from Selucus Nicator, a Macedonian successor of Alexander’s. The Mauryan Empire grew into a large and powerful nation under the rule of its founder; it was perhaps the strongest Indian empire ever.
