Chandragupta Maurya founded the Mauryan Empire and the Dynasty and laid foundation for all this. His reign was an important chapter in international history. His successor Bindusara, too was a capable ruler. In this lesson we will discuss about the personalities of these two rulers and the details of their reign. We are also going to talk about the lesser known facts about Chandragupta viz. his conversion to Jainism, the manner of death, etc. Although we know a great deal about Ashoka and to a large extent, Chandragupta, Bindusara is often overshadowed by these two personalities. So we will discuss as many facts about Bindusara as possible. In all, this lesson will revolve around Chandragupta, the first Mauryan Emperor and his son and successor, Bindusara, the second Mauryan Emperor.
