Magadha
Magadha
Magadha: Magadha was an ancient Indian kingdom in southern Bihar, and was counted as one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas, 'Great Kingdoms' of ancient India. Magadha played an important role in the development of Jainism and Buddhism, and two of India's greatest empires, the Maurya Empire and Gupta Empire, originated in Magadha.
Magadha became the most important mahajanapada in about two hundred years. Many rivers such as the ganga and son flowed through Magadha. This was important for
(a) Transport,
(b) Water supplies
(c) Making the land fertile.
Parts of Magadha were forested. Elephants, which is lived in the forest could be captured and trained for the army. Forests also provided wood for building houses, carts and chariots. Besides, there were iron ore mines in the region that could be tapped to make strong tools and weapons.
Magadha had two very powerful rulers, Bimbisara and Ajatasattu, who used all possible means to conquer other janapadas. Mahapadma Nanda was another important ruler. He extended his control up to the north- west part of the subcontinent. Rajagriha (present-day Rajgir) in Bihar was the capital of Magadha for several years. Later the capital was shifted to Pataliputra (Present-day Patna). More than 2300 years ago, a ruler named Alexandra, who lived in Macedonia in europe, wanted to become a world conqueror. Of course, he didn’t conquer the world, but did conquer parts of Egypt and West Asia, and came to the banks of the Beas.
When he wanted to march, further eastwards, his soldier refused. They were scared, as they had heard that the rulers of India had vast armies of foot soldiers, chariots and elephants.
