Hi all.

I have posted some information about the life of Emperor Chandragupta Maurya. People like him come rarely in history. His rise to greatness is a romance of history ; he rose from a very humble position.

This post covers life of Chandragupta Maurya in brief, and touches upon important aspects of his life. It's like a quick recap.

As, was asked by some friends, i have laid special emphasis on clearing the controversy around the origin of Maurya clan, the word Maurya (Mor / peacock or Mura) itself and also the kingdom of Piplivan, among various other things.

This is a short post.

Welcome to the Chandra Nandni forum!
It's amazing to have you here with the historic updates and links. Thanks for posting it 😊

This particular introductory blog was an excellent read with crisp and precise points and a complete coverage of the basic doubts

- so Maurya, the term, indeed descends from the peacocks and Peeplivan was also existing.

- it was curious to note that the map of India demarcating the the Mauryan Empire under Chandragupta Maurya, exactly resembles the one during the peak of Aurangzeb's age of Expansion.
So Chandragupta achieved such a huge empire ages before. Incredible!

Would be looking forward to more such blogs and erudite posts from you.


Adwitiya.

Abhay!
This is Najma, your sister from JA Forum. SO glad to see you here. I am finding some discrepancies as to who Dhanand is and who Padmanand is. Because I remember the show CGM on Imagine.
Do let us know.

Your sister
Naj

P.S. I hope you remember me.😆
