Solution:
Chandragupta Maurya founded Mauryan Empire in the fourth century BC. He built a strong army and a sizable empire from the ground up. He deposed the Greek Satraps of the North-West Frontier and the Nandas of Magadha, uniting most of the Indian subcontinent under his one-party rule. Megasthenese, a Greek diplomat, visited during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. By the name of Sandrokottos, Chandragupta Maurya was known to Greek scholars. Under the influence of Bhadrabahu, Chandragupta Maurya converted to Jainism and left for Shravanabelagola, where he slowly starved to death in the Chandragiri Hills near Mangalore, Karnataka.
