In further addition to my history narration, there was administrative resurgence happenjng. This period saw the reign of kushan kings and most notable was Kanishka. Then came Mauraya dynasty. Chandergupta consolidated not only his kingdom but expanded the empire over a vast area covering almost whole of North India. This exercise continued for three generations up to Ashokas Kalinga victory. Even as Chandragupta was settling down, another aggression happened from Greece side. Ex-Commander of Alexender, Selucus, who had taken over after Alexenders demise came rolling down with a strong army and reached Indus Punjab. However like his earlier master he also faced defeat and utter rout at the hands of Maurian army. Yet the far sighted Chanakya converted it in to a respectable treaty by which there was to be no aggression in future and Selucuss daughter was married to Chandragupt and was the queen of India. thats enough for today
