Samudragupta and story of its victories

Samudragupta Maharaja was the son and successor of Chandragupta. In the fourth row of prayer column composition by Harishana, Chandragupta I was given a description of providing the state in a meeting filled with Samudragupta. Scholars believe that possibly Chandragupta I would have done this by keeping the ability of Samudragupta into meditation and preventing the war of war between his sons. After attaining the throne, he started the program of victory. He was a skilled warrior. Historian V.A. Smith called it Napoleon of India.


Samudragupta

Seeing Samudragupta's gallantry, military campaigns and successes, this title given by the great historian seems right. The secret state at that time was very small when he sat on the throne. All the countries were divided into several smaller parts. In these states, persistent hostility was seen.

Samudragupta conquered many of them and decided to make a powerful empire. He defeated nine states of North-India and defeated them in their state. He fought with 12 states of South India, but did not mix them in his empire. It shows that Samudragupta was also heroic as well as visionary.

Seagulls triumphs (CONQUESTS)

Samudragupta was in sharp contrast to Ashoka, the great ruler of the Maurya dynasty. Ashoka believed in peace and prosperity in the hearts of people, but Samudragupta was more angry and violent than him. There is Ashoka pillar in Kaushambi, it is adorned with Samudragupta's commendation. In this article, most of the aspects of Samudragupta's life get information. In the Prayag prashasti, the court poet of Samudragupta, Shri Harishan, has counted the names of the census and the countries which Samudragupta won. Some of his major victories were as follows -

Conquest of north India

Prayag prashasti informs us that Samudragupta conquered nine states of North India and got into his empire. They were the states - Wakataka State, State of Mithal, State of Nagavans, State of Pushkar, Raj of Nagasen, Mathura, Nagesin, State of Ramnagar, Assam Rakhi, Nagvanshi State, Nandini and Kotwanshi State. The kings of the Kotavas had only made a union of several states against Samudragupta. But all those states had to lose Samudragupta enhanced his empire by combining these states of North India

Victory of Punjab, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh

Samudragupta's article seems to indicate that during Samudragupta, there were many republican castes in north-western India and Punjab. According to the statement of Harisana, these nine races accepted the submission of Samudragupta. These castes - Malwa, Amir, Kak, Printer, Yudhay, Sakanik, Nagarjuna, Kharparki and Prajrun were there.


The conquest of the kingdoms of other kings of central India

Samudragupta did not add any lesson to the kingdoms between India and South India in his empire. They were his only subordinate state because they only made him. These were tribals of the state. These states gave military help on special occasions as well as paying taxes to them.

Victory over marginal tribal states

Seeing the continuous state and influence of Samudragupta, many marginalized states like Bengal, Assam, Nepal etc accepted acceptance of it and accepted its submission.

The conquest of the states of South India
With the help of a huge army, he defeated all the states of Southern India. But he did not include his empire because of distance from his Pataliputra. He only took tax from them.

Foreign powers and relations with Sri Lanka

It is said that Samudragupta made friendly relations with Shaka, Kushan and friendly relations with Sri Lanka. The states accepted by the states of the Gupta states of the Garuda statue accepted these states. This condition may have been loaded on by Samudragupta. This shows that it was not the equivalent state As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, there is evidence in a later source (Sri Lanka) that King Meghvarna of Sri Lanka (352-379 AD) sent some gifts and requested permission from the Gupta king (possibly Samudragupta) to construct a Buddhist Vihar in Gaya. was.

  The command received and built a vihar called Mahabodhisangaram, King of Sri Lanka, in Buddhist Gaya. It is clear from this that India and Sri Lanka had good relations at that time and Samudragupta believed in the policy of secularism. The King of Sri Lanka sent his ambassador to his court. Meghavarman (Sri Lanka) obtained his permission and built "Buddhist temple" Mahabodhisangaram (Mahabodhi Sangharama).
