		Apart from discussing political events, the author has covered the administration of the empire, religious, social and economic conditions, development of literature and art and various legends associated with the "gem of Indian history", as the ruler is called by the author.
		The author attributes two main reasons for the success of Chandragupta Maurya — the destruction of small principalities of North India by Alexander and of eastern and southern India by Mahapadama Nanda, the first Nanda ruler, and the discontent among the people in the Nanda empire.
		However, the author’s opinion that Chandragupta was "the founder of the Hindu dynasty," does not seem true as Buddhist and Jain sources have given due importance to Chandragupta.

	VNN Editorial - The Vedic Buddha Date
		The rise of Arya Chanakya and Chandragupta of Maurya dynasty (1530 B.C.), and the historical evidence to the golden age of the Hindus under the umbrella of the Gupta dynasty (325 B.C.) also occured during this period.
		In all this anarchy of Indian histography, the probable date of Mahabharat ranges between 1000 B.C.to 300 B.C. The identification of Sandrocottus (325 B.C.) of the Greeks with Chandragupta Maurya by Sir Jones was considered to the "sheet anchor" and based on this assumption, a chronology of Indian history was constructed.
		Now that Chandragupta Maurya reigned in 1550 B.C. (instead of 325 B.C.), the time when the latter flourished can be calculation to be around 1850 B.C. (instead of 550 B.C.).
