Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did Chandragupta’s rule differ from Ashoka’s? Chandragupta used force to be sure no one threatened his power.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ashoka was the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya. It was the first empire that covered most of the Indian region. It spanned across central and northern India as well as over parts of modern-day Iran. The Maurya Empire was a geographically extensive Iron Age historical power in South Asia based in Magadha.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both of these rulers had different approaches to leading the Mauryan empire. Chandragupta preferred to rule harshly and used forceful methods in order to grow the Indian empire. Alternatively, Asoka frowned upon fighting. He ruled in a more reserved way by creating a fair government and uniting his people.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chandragupta’s grandson Asoka ruled differently. Horrified by the brutality of a campaign to conquer the Deccan Plateau where 100, 000 soldiers were killed and even more civilians died, Asoka rejected further conquest. He turned to Buddhism, hoping to rule by moral example rather than by violence.
