Chandragupta a ruler in the prehistoric subcontinent was the one who started all for the Mauryan's imperial rule. He was a very intelligent and thought to be more influenced by the cultural values (as he himself was a Hindu). Greeks invade India, and many kingdoms divide the subcontinent : Alexander the Great was the one who attacked these lands and made it more vulnerable for any other invader to conqueror these regions with much ease as he returned from any further siege of the area. Chandragupta faces the problem of ruling over a large area with many different needs: Leading people of a vast region requires great expenses and a system so well organized that each requirement of the state is fulfilled by the monetary funds that the country has, for the newly formed Mauryan empire they implemented a more effected tax system for having more funds to run the state system, along with that they had all the allies aligned with them now.   Chandragupta lives in constant fear of his enemies: The empirial rule had many allies and many rivals to fight off. It was age when the armies of Chandragupta were greatly defeated by his rivals and along with the attack from the Greek's also effected his overall military strength.Ashoka is shocked by the suffering at the battle of Kalinga: After, his siege of the region, thousand of people on both sides were slaughter by the both the armies, as there was a scene of blood and dead bodies around Asoka when he stepped on the battle field. As a great admirer of the Buddhist ideology of life, he felt betrayed by his own desires and then went on regret his decision to attack the Kalinga empire.
