Summary

Chandragupta extended the borders of his empire towards Seleucid Persia after his conflict with Seleucus c. 305 BCE.

The story is about Chandragupta Maurya, who ruled over the Indian subcontinent in 300 BC. He would go on to become one of the greatest conquerors of India, with his empire extending from Assam in the east to Afghanistan and Baluchistan in the west.

Defeat of Alexander

Chanakya used a strategy of fear to scare the army of Alexander and force them to return. He projected a Demigod of India - Maurya, as the savior of Indians who were angry with Greeks for setting foot in India. He used many symbols like the burning of Alexander's Eagle Flag.

He made Chandragupta join Alexander's army as a soldier and used him to spread fear among them.^[6][7] He asked Porus to surrender to give insights about Alexander.
