The Greatest Kings in Indian History

[GaudaNaresh]

Iam in Maharashtra. I have pankha
And have gone to bihar in June and bihar has pankha and bijli now people dont roam like this there to be honest. Neither they did back in the day , that pic makes it look like as if a orgy is about to start .

Most people roamed back in the day like you see in the tv serial mahabharata, as i said. We were less bothered with bare skin before the islamists came and influenced our morals via domination.
That is why north western India is more anti-woman than the rest, due to proximity and deeper influence from the muzzies - hence their stupid shyte like ghoongat, purdah, etc.

Btw, i will nominate another guy for one of the greatest rulers India has ever seen - Ugrasen, aka Mahapadma Nanda.

He can be considered the first major 'emperor' of India in the true sense of the word : He turned a dominant Magadh kingdom into a true empire - the definition of which, is where one monarch directly rules over multiple kingdoms/countries, via governors, instead of being the 'high king' - which is making vassals out of less powerful monarchs.

Now, empires can and most often do have vassal kingdoms- but empires have 'mandalas', aka ethnically distinct regions ruled directly from the centre.

Until Mahapadma Nanda, Magadh worked mostly as a vassalising kingdom. True, Ajatshatru had absorbed Vajji, Kashi and Kaushal into his kingdom, turning it into an empire, but he still maintained local kings there as his governors, instead of directly appointing governors.

The impact of Mahapadma Nanda is such, that he is often vilified in the annals as a 'great uprooter of Kshatriyas', due to him completely reworking the ruling architecture of India and he is the one, who turned Magadh into an imperial force powerful enough to've scared away Alexander, while imparting a system that became the norm for Indian rulership for the next 800 years.

He was unchallenged, whole kingdoms along the uttarapath trembled in his fear .

Well after Mahapadma was done, there were no kingdoms left in the uttarapath until you hit central Punjab ( madra region)
